GNOME and Mono Meet Through Zeitgeist

Project



Summary: Development and architecture in GNOME to make Mono pluggable via Zeitgeist

NOVELL'S PROJECT, Mono, still wants to be inside GNOME Zeitgeist and it is still a threat, as we've been seeing recently and warned about even a year ago. Now we find some new updates about Mono bindings in Zeitgeist:



The great Manish Sinha has blogged about the development of Zeitgeist-Sharp bindings. Since I am too lazy/busy and preparing some new stuff for UDS, I just posted his whole blog post.


These bindings do not imply that Zeitgeist will depend on Mono. However, it never helps to have Mono bindings because of the way applications evolve and plugins which people may choose to use/develop with them.

As an aside, the latest Banshee endorsements neglect to point out that Microsoft's MCP makes it explicitly uncovered for patent matters (maybe the whole of Mono is not covered, either).
