[Mono-list] Maemo Handheld SDK and Mono

[Max Metral]

So there's an upcoming Linux-based Nokia handheld device which seems
very interesting for a host of reasons (form factor, price,
capabilities, open SDKs):

http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,1522,,00.html?orig=/770

The SDK is "Maemo", and is open source.  However, it's C++-based.  Yech.
On the surface it seems like getting Mono to run on it won't be so bad.
Does that seem true?  The one trick is that they define there own set of
UI "helpers" (possibly on top of GTK+), and I suppose I'd have to
develop shims to map to those APIs from Mono.

If others are interested, perhaps we can have an off-list chat about
what it would take and who can do what...

Try the official connector from MySQL:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/1.0.html

But be sure to search the mailing list first because there are a few
quirks with the current version that you should be aware of. One case
is the way it currently deals with DateTime values with a value of 0
(0000-00-00 00:00:00).
