[DotGNU]This Week in DotGNU -- 26/04/2002

[Gopal . V]

Hi Everybody,
        
        This is an attempt to work out another "This Week in DotGNU"
series which was suspended when Norbert was caught up in work.

Mailing list
------------
 * The dicussion about the Forum and the project leadership continue
 
 * The philosophy file moves up to revision 3 by Silvernerd

 * The jabber question comes up all too often. DotGNU seems to have
   no doubts about using jabber as an option, but still wants to retain
   compatibility to HTTP based stuff.
   
 * Another important point that has come up is the GNUEnterprise or
   GNUe . The role of GNUe and its gnue-common libraries , more 
   specifically "gnu-rpc" in DotGNU are sought out.

 * A lot of small stuff about w3c patents etc.. 

Portable.NET
------------

 * Ajmitch announces the debs for the latest release for the 
   Portable.NET 0.3.4 and 0.1.0 packages. 
   
 * Rhys manages to compile up all the ecma dlls 

 * The pnetlib-status page finally becomes up2date (almost)

 * I requested a set of test classes , but have yet to recieve
   a response .

Phpgroupware
------------
 
 * Seek3r has mentioned that he'll be back in a few days. More info 
   later

I have no idea what has gone around in the other DotGNU projects like
the Auth , VRS etc... please inform me. Hope I've covered all.
