[Mono-list] mono wiki

[Austin Winstanley]

While I do understand the reasons for the policy, it seems to me that a more
welcoming and trusting policy toward community involvement would go a long
way towards attracting more people to help out. Yall have done an incredible
job with Mono, and I know a lot of people have put their hearts and souls
into it over the past few years, but I still don't feel like I should have
to earn the right to dedicate my time and efforts to contributing.

And I definitely agree with Sean. Even if there are small bursts of help,
it's still better than none at all...
