We just released Mono 1.1.10, our best release so far. The major feature missing from this release to call it Mono 1.2 is the completion of our Windows.Forms implementation.

In this document I only present the direction of development of the Mono team at Novell; A more comprehensive view of other Mono developments by the Mono community is something that am working on and will post at a later date.

I also present how our team's priorities are shifting in response to Novell's own internal use of Mono and external factors like the final release of .NET 2.0.

I tried anjuta, it just seams to be quite featureless, and I see no point in using it over vim.

I've never heard of sth(link?). You're right looking may be the wrong word. Perhaps dabbling is more correct. There's only so much time and effort I'm willing to put into it especially since I've been less than satisfied with everything I've found.

> And yet Anjuta (1.x) and Kdevelop both have better code completion than vim. Hell, even Emacs have better code completion.

That's true vim has no code completion, I use it because it has alot of other features that make coding with it much faster. Emacs is tedious for me. There have been plenty flamewars discussing which is better let's just say I'm not an emacs guy.

The situation for launching mono apps is exactly the same as java apps. Trying to imply that one needs kernel updates while the other doesn't is utter bullshit.

what distribution doesn't do this for you already?

>>most java programs expect some sort of JAVA_HOME and a perticular jvm
>Which is way different from requiring kernel config.

because they are called by a script. same as mono. The kernel doesn't know what to do with a .jar or .class otherwise.
