[MonoDevelop] Gtk# GUI Designer?

[Sven H.]

Greetings,

I am very interested in using Monodevelop as multi-platform GUI RAD 
tool. The best option for now seems to use Glade which is not integrated 
into MD. I read at several places that there are plans for a new Gtk# 
GUI Designer not based on Monodevelop but I was under the impression 
that the work on this
is not really started. I would be interested to help.

Are there any concrete plans about the design of such a Gtk# GUI Designer?

Is there a time schedule?

Given the amount of work needed to implement the Gtk# GUI Designer -  
would it be sensible to implement a monodevelop/glade add-in as interim 
solution?
