Recently it was proposed on the DotGNU developers mailing list
that "DotGNU" should be interpreted as a recursive acronym (like
GNU stands for "GNU's Not Unix").. so maybe it will turn out that
"DotGNU" really means something like "DotGNU over the GNU
Networking Universe".  In any case, we're building something that
could be called an "operating system for the internet" - a
collection of tools that allow software components to interact
with each other over the internet.
