[Mono-list] Mono.Addins - where to discuss?

[Nils Andresen]

Hi,
The Google group is the place to start.
The fist post needs moderation, true - which seems to take a while, also
true. But the group has some active members, so you can expect some Answers.
Personally I'd choose mono.addins again - MEF is simply strange and mixes
addin-functionality with di-container functionality and I didn't like that.
The system.addins namespace has more features than mono.addins but I could
not manage a working example after one hour (Could also be "me"...)

Be patient and your post will get though ;-)

I'd say try them both - it should not take you more than an hour each and
you'll have a first glimpse of how they feet (that was the point where I
dropped MEF - it simply didn't feel right...)

Yours,
Nils
