[Mono-list] Jakarta Struts for .net/mono

[Martin Trejo]

This not exactly about the technical part of this topic but to remark the
land of opportunity that Mono opens to everybody.

Many people has questioned my "what if...." things and remarkably get on the
*.NET technologies. The last proposals shows that we have a community mature
enough to create our own solutions either based on propietary technologies
or open source projects.

Cheers to Alexander and Andres for showing what is this Mono community made
of. :D
