Sorry, but these comments are not moving us forward - I want to answer them, but I don't think there is anything here for us to add to the document. There is *absolutely nothing* stopping you from writing your application using Gtk#/Mono. Additionally, there seems to be a pretty strong consensus that Gtk#/Mono should be accepted into the Bindings suite, so that you, as an independent software developer can rest assured that it is a supported platform for writing GNOME applications with. There seems to be very little debate about that. The other issues raised in the document *do* warrant further discussion, but do *not* impact your ability to write applications for the GNOME environment in the language and platform of your choice. It *may* impact your ability to write software for inclusion in (specifically, at this stage) the Desktop suite - that is a discussion we must have, and I am attempting to split up the conflated issues and drive forward that discussion with as little bitterness and frustration as possible. Commentary about cruelty to animals does not help us.
