[Mono-list] [OT] Project Hathi, help needed

[Atsushi Eno]

Hi,

You don't seem to really know the actual state of modules in olive.
WPF is not ready by any means. Correct me if you *really* tried it
and it's working, but I assume your app won't work with olive.
And note that we have no plan to work on WPF now.

(Chris would know a lot more about existing olive WPF code.)

You could instead try to use Moonlight.Gtk (at least once it gets
released).

(And WCF stack went to mcs. Though the state is the same "not
supported", it is on the other hand ready for moonlight use.)
