 * 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. More are forthcoming.

+		* 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.

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