AW: [mono-vb] Couple Questions

[Jochen Wezel - CompuMaster GmbH]

Hi Kevin,
 
You don't need a linux system to develop with mono in mono. A windows
system is absolutely fine. 
(Only if you want to compile the source code of mono, you'll need the
free CygWin tools from http://www.cygwin.com/ )
 
The Visual Basic part in Mono is separated in two main projects:
1. The BASIC compiler
2. The class libraries (the classes in namespace Microsoft.VisualBasic)
 
Since you're an application developer, it might make sense to run and
test your applications in the mono framework. 
A first thing might be to execute your existing application on mono.
When you find bugs, you're welcome to report them at
http://www.mono-project.com/Bugs
 
There is a website available which shows the missing parts in
Microsoft.VisualBasic:
http://mono.ximian.com/class-status/mono-HEAD-vs-fx-1-1/class-status-Mic
rosoft.VisualBasic.html
http://mono.ximian.com/tests/displayTestResults.php
 
If you like to work with the latest source code, it is available via
SVN. Here is a guide to get it:
http://www.mono-project.com/AnonSVN
 
In case of any further questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
 
Regards
Jochen

Whats the best way for me to help?

I am an experienced VB.net developer when it comes to application
programming but I don't have a ton of extra time.

Also, I mainly work on windows platform but I am sure i could setup a
vmware environment of linux if needed.

	Mono has started implementing lots of 2.0 features, but

1.x
	compliance. 
	
	Help joyfully accepted,
