Given these obstacles, I think that going forward with the originally announced plan of removing non-4.5 profile support from the current Mono code base - without introducing MS code yet - would make the gradual adoption of MS code much easer.

Two issues: we worked with reference source and the github push is only slowly getting the bits. And the second is that the layout they are pushing is different.

I'm going to look at the Buffer stuff I shy'd away from before. Then look at the MachineKey.Protect stuff to implement the things
    I missed.

    I've got a separate question around the mismatch in conventions,
    but I'll ask that on a different thread.

    I'm struggling to contain my excitement at the moment!

    Thanks,

        Hello,

        We worked only on System.Configuration, regex, the crypto and
        web stack.

        The rest you can do, including the web stack.

        I took a look at asp.net <http://asp.net>. I think in the long
        term we want to replace most of it, but it needs to be done in
        stages, as it still contains a bunch of native stuff.m

            Hi Miguel,

            Is there an ETA on merging your "large fork".  I don't
            want to get started on anything that you guys have already
            done?

            Or could you tell us which areas to stay away from for
            now?  Personally, I would want to look at some of the
            system.web things.

            Thanks
            Martin

                Hey guys,

                Sami reached out to me, and was wondering how to get
                started in bringing some code to Mono, in particular
                WCF to Mono.   So I wrote this small guide for newcomers.

                I would say it takes a couple of steps:

                  * Build your own local version of Mono on Linux.
                  * Make sure it works "mcs" should be able to run
                    after installing it.
                  * Run a trivial self-hosted WCF server/client
                  * Make a trivial change to the WCF class library,
                    and install this version to test you can make
                    changes locally and have them run:
                      o cd mono/mcs/class/System.ServiceModel
                      o Make changes
                      o make install
                      o Run your test again in another window
                      o Repeat
                  * Make sure you can run the test suite:
                      o cd mono/mcs/class/System.ServiceModel
                      o make run-test-local

Once you are ready, you can start importing code. Ideally, you want to go for high-value targets: the
                most buggy parts of Mono's stack (you can check
                bugzilla for reports on memory usage, bugs).   Or you
                can pick a missing feature.

                To import code, modify the relevant ".sources" file in
                the System.ServiceModel directory (where you ran the
                test) and replace a local file, with a reference to
                the "referencesource".

                Chances are, you will need to make changes to the
                "referencesource" code, since a lot of it is Windows
                specific.

                Miguel

                    I am somewhat ignorant about Mono but I am pretty
                    ok with .NET and Linux.

                    thanks
