[MonoDevelop] Request for Mission Statement

[Todd Berman]

Well, as far as the forms designer, not a whole lot has been decided.

Its still too early to be looking into it fully.

Part of the issue via the Forms Design will be that although we
attempted to change the API as little as humanly possible, there are
some things you kinda have to change (SWF.Control to Gtk.Widget, things
like that).

However, it is absolutely something we are going to look into when we
get a bit further along.
