Hey folks,

    Mono was chosen by Ars Technica on the Linux category as
`Development Application of the Year'.  Thanks to everyone that made
this happen!

        
        Development application of the year
        We judged ease of use, documentation, maturity of tools, and
        ease of deployment.
        
        Those magical programs facilitate the creativity flow from the
        hands of the programmers. A good development application or
        framework allows someone with an idea and some know-how to do
        his part to change how people interact with their data.
        
        Winner: Mono 
        
        The Mono Project develops a common language runtime environment
        and development tools that aim to conform with Microsoft's .NET
        framework. The pace of Mono's development and maturation as a
        platform has been very rapid and has encouraged the creation of
        a plethora of tools and applications targeting the Mono runtime
        and built with the Mono development toolset. It has made the
        language C# increasingly popular for rapid application
        development on Linux. Additionally, development tools such as
        MonoDevelop have been written and continue to improve rapidly to
        provide the closest thing to an ideal RAD environment for Linux.
