Comments: Passing the Torch

From reading your various ideas I would say that the add-in to visual studio is the route you should take with this project. By the looks of things it appears that this would benefit a large number of developers, including myself.

Hi Paco,

In my opinion, I think you will get better Mono adoption among .Net users if you build the VS.Net Add-in for Mono.

I have recently been in touch with a few past coworkers in PR which use VS.Net at a local IT consultancy. They are curious about Mono, but the one thing I hear most from them, is this: they would like to be able to just take an existing VS.Net project and compile it with Mono mcs and/or mbas and run it in Mono, without leaving the VS.Net environment.

The next thing they would like is the ability to deploy on Mono platforms, from within, you guessed it, VS.Net.

From this I infer that not very many .Net developers are ready or willing to leave the *safety blanket* of the VS.Net environment. Wussies. :-)

Gotta go! Later!
