 * Tools
 
-       We need a number of tools to make people productive using a
-       Mono-based solution.  Some of these tools can be developed on
-       Windows before Mono is fully finished.
+       The SDK tools have now been built.
 
-       All of these tools should be written using C#.  
+       If you are interested in contributing to the IDE effort,
+       please visit the <a href="http://www.monodevelop.com">Mono
+       Develop</a> web site.
 
-       For the tools that are typically command line tools: Try to
-       write these as components that could load their input from
-       streams or collections of streams, and implement the command
-       line tools as wrappers around those classes.
-
-       For example, we will be making the C# compiler a component
-       that could be reused by applications that might have a use for
-       the various bits of the compiler (either to embed the
-       compiler, or reuse the code generator part of it).  
-
-       This is important so that these components (compiler,
-       assembler, linker, etc) can be integrated later into the
-       visual development environment (hopefully with the help of the
-       SharpDevelop hackers). 
-
-TODO=ilasm,IL Assembler
-** IL Assembler.
-
-       This assembler should basically take as input a file
-       containing IL bytecodes as specified in the `Partition II' of
-       the ECMA spec, and produce a binary file.
-
-TODO=al,Assembly Linker
-** Assembly Linker.
-
-       This tool is used to construct assemblies, which are basically
-       deployment units for CLI executables.
-
-TODO=debugger,Debugger
-** Debugger
-
-       We will need a debugging API to debug CLI applications and
-       then a debugger component that can be used in an IDE
-       environment.
-
-TODO=ide,Integrated Development Environment
-** Integrated Development Environment
-
-       There is already a project to create a C# development
-       environment: <a
-       href="http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/default.asp">SharpDevelop</a>.
-       People should work with the SharpDevelop hackers to produce a
-       unified development environment.
-
-       Please work with the SharpDevelop hackers to build a good IDE.
-       We will work on creating an embedable compiler component and
-       an embeddable debugger component that can be used withing
-       SharpDevelop
-
-TODO=hbrowser,Help Browser
-** Help Browser
-
-       We need a good help browser that can be used to browse
-       documentation.  Ideally this help browser can accept as input
-       XML Docbook input and an assorted set of file formats
-       (Microsoft Help, Unix manual pages, Unix Info pages)
-
-       Look at the GNOME DevHelp for a good set of ideas on how to
-       implement this.
