* Status
-This library is in pre-alpha state. Development is still in the very early
-stages. Bug reports are welcome, provided they don't just point out missing
-classes. Please use http://bugzilla.ximian.com/
+This library is in a beta state. Development is still proceeding as
+at a rapid page on the 1.1 codebase. A limitted number of 2.0
+controls have been implemented, but the 2.0 api is not supported at
+this time. Bug reports are welcome. Please use
+http://bugzilla.ximian.com/
* Contributions
-No contributions providing only stubs will be accepted at this time. We ask
-that you submit contributions for review before committing them, our goal is
-to have a consistent and complete implementation, ideally having most or all
-methods and properties of a class written by the same author. This will ensure
-a certain degree of consistency in the code. Please also check the
-'Guidelines' file.

- Jordi Mas i Hernandez (jordi@ximian.com)
+Contributions are most welcome. These can come in many different
+forms, depending on what you're interested in working on. 2.0
+controls need a lot of work, so ask on the mailing list or in irc if
+someone is working on it already, and if not, start in on it. Also,
+the unit tests need a lot of work. We can always use more of them,
+and there are still a small number of them which pass on MS .NET and
+fail on MWF. For code contributions, please check the 'Guidelines'
+file.
