Hi Miguel,
Thanks for clearing up my questions on namespace's :)
Steve thanks for the license info and for sorting those notes out :) Another question
that has sprung to mind is what is the end goal of the compiler, to be compatible wih
JScript.NET or compatible with ECMA 3, obviously JScript.NET is (almost) compliant
with ECMA 3 but do we intend to be closer to that mark?
Thanks also for the info on the System.Refelection namespace (thanks also Jeroen :), I
do think the class status system makes it a little confusing. Is there anyway we can
see clearly see what the status of a class is and (based on other posts I have seen)
who is working on a class? Anyway we can tie this to the CVS checkin?
Thanks
Andrew

We should use the same namespace to keep compatibility with the
Microsoft API.

Steve has agreed to change the license and said (on a separate post on
the list) that he will reformat his existing notes and post them for the
sake of those working on the compiler.

System.Reflection is one of those pieces in Mono that is very advanced,
as the Mono C# compiler depends entirely on it to get its work done.
Note also that the class status pages only show what is missing from a
class or what has known problems. If a class is fully implemented, it
will not show up on the class status page (this is something that we
should probably make more obvious at some point, because its becoming
confusing).
Miguel.
