I think it would be a good idea to take MonoUML as a code base for a
MonoDevelop UML addin. 

One of the goals of MonoDevelop is to be a platform flexible enough to
allow the implementation of any development tool on top of it. Those
tools can take advantage of all MonoDevelop services, such as:
* A project system.
* A source code parser.
* Better support for background operations.
* Extensible menus and toolbars.
* A docking layout.
* etc.

I say "implementation" and not "integration", because ideally there
should be no need for a standalone version of the tool (which would be a
duplication of efforts and code).
