The Mono project and DotGNU Portable.NET aim to provide portable and free software implementations of the .NET framework and though they have different implementation designs and different free software licensing models they try to cooperate when possible.
Cooperation happens both in interpreting the ECMA standards to adapt them to the characteristics of unixy systems and in code sharing. For example, Rhys Weatherley of the DotGNU Portable.NET project recently donated to the Mono project the code to handle the complex internationalization issues in the runtime and DotGNU Portable.NET is speeding up its interpreter with the native code generation macros that Mono developed for its JIT and plans to reuse more code from the assemblies created by the Mono project. DotGNU Portable.NET and the Mono project believe that both the cooperation and the competition between the two projects can help enhance the products for their increasingly numerous users.
