+ A mailing list specifically dedicated to discussions
+ about developing Mono and programming *with* Mono.
+ Programmers that work on Mono are _strongly_ encouraged
+ to join this list. Third-party programmers interested
+ in running or compiling their managed applications with
+ Mono or that are interested in using mono-specific
+ technologies should join the list as well.
+ <p>
+ Examples of on-topic arguments are:
+ <ul>
+ <li>proposals and patches for new features for the mono runtime and programs
+ <li>discussions about bugs in the mono runtime and programs
+ <li>discussions about future directions
+ <li>embedding API, scripting language bridges
+ <li>mono/mcs build issues
+ <li>programming with mono-specific assemblies
+ <li>discussions about third-party compilers that target and/or use directly the CLR
+ <li>discussions about getting a managed application run with mono
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Topics that are better discussed on other mailing lists:
+ <ul>
+ <li> general C# questions (use the specific lists at develop.com)
+ <li> issues that are already covered by a more specific mono
+ mailing list (like System.Windows.Forms or Gtk#)
+ <li> success reports about new apps running on mono, including
+ runtime/buildtime support for new programming languages (use
+ mono-list to reach a wider audience)
+ </ul>
