+** Missing features
+
+	Our class libraries miss some features, for example, most classes
+	do not implement the serialization bits at all, it would be a good
+	contribution to add this to each class.
+
+	This is a simple task, but it needs to be done in a compatible way
+	with the Microsoft.NET classes: using the same arguments to serialize
+	and reincarnate data.

 ** Licensing
 
-	The class library will be licensed under the terms of the GNU
-	LGPL.  Some people have pointed out that the plain LGPL is
-	troublesome for embedded use of the Mono class libraries.  So
-	we are considering to use the GPL with a special exception
-	(like the <a

-	The exception to the GPL would be:

-   	changes that you make to the library itself, or to any native
-   	methods upon which the library relies, must be re-distributed in

-	If you are going to contribute, please keep in mind that we
