 * Ideas
 
+	There are many pending classes that need to be implemented.  Those have
+	the highest impact in the Mono project: the sooner they are done,
+	the sooner we can start using this platform to create new and
+	exciting applications.
+
+	That being said, if you are not very excited about working on class
+	libraries, here is a list of other related projects or tools that might
+	be useful to the Mono project.
+
 	Here are a few ideas of tools, classes and projects that you
-	could start.
+	could start. More are forthcoming.

 ** Classes
 
-	Implement a JXTA protocol implementation:

-	Implement a Mail API, similar to Camel or JavaMail (Camel has
-	significant architecture features that are required on a real
-	mailer)
+		* Implement a Mail API, similar to Camel or JavaMail (Camel has

-		Camel implementation</a>
+		Camel implementation</a>.
+
+		  Such an implementation could be used both with
+		  Microsoft .NET and Mono.
 
+		* Interfacing to Multimedia systems.  You might want
+		  to look into the Quicktime API.  I know <a

 ** Projects
 
-	Here are some projects you might be interested in working on:
+	This list of projects ideas is outdated
+
+		* Once <a href="http://remoting-corba.sourceforge.net/">CORBA</a> is done, implement the Bonobo interfaces
+		  to allow people to use Bonobo components in Mono and
+		  Mono components with Bonobo.  The best of both worlds!
+
+		* A naming space for Mono.  An object naming space is
+		  a very powerful tool.  Bonobo implements a moniker
+		  system that is more powerful than the original
+		  moniker concept that was pioneered by COM/OLE in the
+		  Microsoft world.
+
+		  Our implementation builds on a concept, and we have
+		  made it simpler, more powerful, more extensible and
+		  a much better mechanism than the equivalent monikers
+		  on Windows. 
 
-	Implement an xmlStorageSystem for the CLI:
-		<a href="http://www.soapware.org/xmlStorageSystem">

+		  Implementing Mono monikers would benefit both
+		  Windows users using .NET and Mono users on Unix and
+		  Windows.

+		  overview of the moniker system</a> in Bonobo.
