Re: [Mono-dev] Moonlight for Win/Mac as a cross platform desktop application platform
As far as I know, Moonlight is not being worked on anymore. However, do not let me stop you from working on it. I'm sure xamarin will accept patches. Gtk# is your best bet for a cross-platform GUI for desktop applications that will work on .net/windows, mono/windows, mono/linux, mono/mac, etc. The other choice would be ASP.NET. System.Windows.Forms works, but I do not think it is maintained anymore.

Are there any plans to support Moonlight as a cross platform desktop application platform for Windows/Mac? If so what resources should be delegated to implement the basics of the Windows part for example?

Re: [Mono-dev] Mono, Oracle and .NET after 4.0
Mono's oracle provider is not completely dead. I have been making bug fixes to it, but since I do not have git commit access, I have no ways to put them there. I even started migrating Mono's oracle provider to based on ODP.NET. I should create a fork of it on github. An alternative is to use ODBC. Late this year or early next year, Oracle will have a private beta for a thin oracle ado.net provider. If interested, go to the ODP.NET at oracle. There is an old message talking about that. https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2216233&tstart=30 Since it is thin, there is a good chance it will work on Mono on Linux.

Since you are already paying large amounts of money for the database engine, I'd suggest spending a little bit more and getting a commercially supported Oracle ADO.Net provider. [dotConnect for Oracle][2] officially supports Mono (and I had very good experience with it), and [DataDirect ADO.NET Data Provider for Oracle][3] is 100% managed code, so it should - in theory - work with Mono as well.
