[MonoDevelop] Project 2 HTML Plugin for MonoDevelop

[Wisam Yacteen]

Hi Alexandre,

Thanks for the feedback.  

Yes, I also thought that C#2HTML would be more useful to the
open-source community and that's why I thought Mono developers might
be interested.

I think your suggestion about SVN support is a good one, though I'm
not sure if we should add that support directly.  I think a script
would be better suited to keep the HTML up to date.

As for the idea about "sessions", I agree with you that it would be
useful for posting to forums and such.  Our next release will be a GUI
application that has this support, which we call 'Snippet Mode'.

Again, thanks for your feedback.  We'll probably end up making the
plugin just for the learning experience alone and any good use that
people get from it will just be an added bonus.
