Re: Mono on IBM i (Was Getting a pulse for Ruby On Rails on i)

Vern,

I'd be glad to offer my $.02 for what it is worth, but the
community.common.org server seems to be down at this time. Regardless IBM
may shy away from a corporate-sponsored Mono port because of legal
concerns (think Oracle vs. Google). With the MS Community Promise and the
recent open sourcing of items like the Entity Framework, it may be that MS
would never go after third-party .NET implementations, but there is
currently no guarantee.

Y'all

If you really like this idea, maybe submit a requirement through COMMON,
or submit a DCR - Richard has a requirement in through our ISV
relationship, and the more the merrier - AND the more likely to be done.

No promises, of course - I've learned from IBM!

As to COMMON, go to www.common.org and click on the community tab, then
log in - you can get a user id there or through a LUG if your company is
a member or some other means - you don't have to be a COMMON member,
this is more related to iSociety.
