Wow , an expert !

This list has been devoted to the "design" aspects of DotGNU rather 
than implementation stuff.... eventhough that is supposed to happen
on "arch" (IIRC).

The docs are hidden deep in the CVS repository in the various HACKING 
& doc files...... (and I'm not good at docs).

Due to the indifferent attitudes of the HACKING files , we have decided
to replace them with real people . Seriously , we know that the
HACKING files are dreadfully incomplete as a doc for a new developer.
They assume that you know C# and that you're a small expert in lots of
stuff.........

In short , if there's anything you want to know about contribing to 
pnet (ie which I assume is the part of DotGNU that interests you), 
please do mail me with a small "[pnet]" on the subject . You're also
welcome to pick a class of the status page (which should be up2date
by tonight).

waiting for your reply.....
