[Mono-osx] [Cocoa-sharp] cocoa-sharp-dev Google Group has been shutdown

[Andrew Satori]

Well, I'm good with this, but I think we really want to hear Geoff's opinion
before any decisions are made.

As for the website,  I think we can make something work for what you want
and need.  Manuel, if you have some ideas on the look and feel shoot we can
round table it.  I'm generally on IRC during the day (GMT -5) and can
generally arrange to be online at any time if you want to hash some of this
out.

The current CocoaSharp content and site has been slowly being redone, as the
existing Wiki has really gotten outdated fast, so at this point, I'd say,
start getting your ideas together and we'll move forward.
