Mono: Free C# and .NET on Linux and Windows

The Mono project is an open source effort sponsored by Novell to create a free implementation of the .NET Development Framework.

Mono includes a compiler for the C# language, a Common Language Runtime (CLR) for the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) and a set of class libraries. The runtime can be embedded into your application. It implements both ADO.NET and ASP.NET.

If you have questions about the project, read the project launch statement or visit our list of Frequently Asked Questions.

For details on the project's future direction, read the roadmap, and download the latest software version. You can also get a snapshot of our current work, or browse the source tree.

To participate in discussion and development, subscribe to our mailing lists. You can also visit the forum at GotMono or the Gtk# and Mono Wikis.
