[Mono-list] Suitability of Mono

[Mike Christensen]

Sorry to hi-jack the thread, just a quick question..

Are the iOS and Android Mono Frameworks that Xamarin is creating a
totally different code-base from MonoTouch and MonoDroid?  What has
become of the formerly Novell owned MonoTouch/Droid products?  Are
those just being scrapped completely?

If these are going to be totally new products, will they be designed
similar to the Novell products (eg, will it be easy to port from the
Novell platform)..

Thanks!

Mike
