DotGNU is _not_ about cloning .NET ... we're planning
quite a few things that have no counterpart in .NET ...
and if you look at phpGroupWare you'll see that some
(relatively small) parts of that kind are already
available and useable.

You don't get something better by deciding to ignore
technological advances made by proprietary software
companies. The way to go is to do two things:
(a) Make something similar to the good parts of what they
create, while improving on it as we go along.
(b) Make good things that don't exist in proprietary
software yet.
Greetings, Norbert.
