+             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)
