Re: Time to heat up the new module discussion

I stated my objection clearly. I do not believe that it is in the best
interests of the open source community to advance the interests of
Microsoft or any other commercial vendor. 

At this point in time I do not think adding Mono to GNOME-core is a good
idea.  I have no objection to adding Mono apps to GNOME-extras. 

In time we will learn whether or not the Mono framework will be embraced
by the user community.
