 ** To start contributing
 
        To start developing classes or to contribute to the compiler,
-       you only need Windows and the .NET Beta 2 SDK.  Please notice
+       you only need Windows and the .NET Framework 1.0 SDK.  Please notice
        that you do not need Visual Studio (although you can use it if
        you want).

-* C# Compilation Service
+               * Adding serialization support to all the classes.
 
-       If you are working on a class for the Mono project, but do not
-       have a C# compiler available or a Windows machine to run the
-       .NET SDK, you can use the compilation service that Derek
-       Holden setup in the following URL: <a
-       href="http://toilet.2y.net:8080/">http://toilet.2y.net:8080/</a>
+                 We have many classes, but we have not implemented in
+                 many cases the serialization and re-incarnation support in 
+                 them (this is pretty straight forward code, and simple,
+                 but there is a lot to be done here).
+       </ul>
 
-       The service will let you compile a source file and get back a
-       list of errors in the class file.  You will not be able to run
-       the code, but at least you can get some code written that will
-       help us further down the line.
+* Emacs support
 
-       You can contact (and thank) Derek for this service by sending
-       him nice email at <a
