[Mono-list] Sites Using Mono

[Mike Christensen]

If I'm not mistaken here, I think this thread is basically boiling
down to a trust issue; OP, please correct me if I'm wrong.

People /want/ to see some huge site such as ebay or something written
totally on Mono so they at least know "Hey yes that's possible to do,
I can commit to that technology for my project and deal with problems
as they come up.."

Mono can be the fastest thing on earth if setup right, but without a
solid résumé it'll be a hard sell..
