Re: [Dotgnu-general] Fwd: dotGNU wiki is down

[Alan Shea Anderson-Priddy]

Since learning more about dotGNU and it's current project status, I've
moved over to Mono. But recently I've read things in the news about
how Microsoft might buy them out... Seems like that could go either
way.

So as far as helping out, I've mostly chosen to help out with testing
for Trisquel and some of the included packages. On the side I'm
running test environments with Hurd and Guix. (thanks again everyone
for the infos)  =)
