Mono 1.0 released Posted Jun 30, 2004 18:33 UTC (Wed) by clugstj (subscriber, #4020) [Link] Well, the name may mean monkey in Spanish, but in the US it is slang for adisease. Time will tell which is more accurate.

It is MOH-noh (or MOE-noe, if you can't seem to avoid using dipthongs), not MAW-noe.
Mono 1.0 released Posted Jul 1, 2004 5:48 UTC (Thu) by eru (subscriber, #2753) [Link] And in Finland it is a common colloquial term for a shoe (originally derives from a certain brand of ski shoes).A funny word, having a different meaning in so many languages.
Mono 1.0 released Posted Jul 1, 2004 10:32 UTC (Thu) by rwmj (subscriber, #5474) [Link] In Japanese mono is the word for "thing".
GNU Classpath and Eclipse support! Posted Jun 30, 2004 18:55 UTC (Wed) by mjw (subscriber, #16740) [Link] Really nice to see GNU Classpath and Eclipse support (as shown prominently in the screenshots!) through the IKVM runtime.Shows how flexible and innovative Free Software can be! This should give some healthy competition for Kaffe OpenVM and the GNU Compiler for Java gcj. Still waiting for the C# frontend for GCC to complete the picture.
Mono 1.0 released Posted Jun 30, 2004 19:18 UTC (Wed) by tjc (subscriber, #137) [Link] What is this logo supposed to be?http://www.mono-project.com/img/logos/mono1.gif It looks like the end of a bit of frayed rope...
Mono 1.0 released Posted Jun 30, 2004 19:20 UTC (Wed) by elanthis (guest, #6227) [Link] That's the Mono Monkey. Rupert (monkey) is the mascot of Ximian (rhymes with simian - get it?) and 'mono' means monkey in Spanish.
Mono 1.0 released Posted Jun 30, 2004 20:42 UTC (Wed) by tjc (subscriber, #137) [Link] Oh yeah, I see it now. The ears seems a bit off, but its a monkey all right!
Mono 1.0 released Posted Jun 30, 2004 19:54 UTC (Wed) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] I believe it says "Mono 1.0". The name of the file (mono1.gif) also suggests this.Thanks to everyone who made this release possible!
Congrats to the developers! Posted Jul 1, 2004 16:32 UTC (Thu) by pivot (guest, #588) [Link] A few suggestions along the way;I think mono has to get rid of what I would call its identity crisis. Is it a .net clone? Is it a gnome development platform? Or both? The problem with being both, is that it prevents it from being fully accepted by the rest of the linux community. There's wide range perception that mono is a .net clone and a lot of people just diregards mono because of that. It would be very beneficial to separate out the .net compatible class library into a separate project, with a separate name and release cycles.
Congrats to the developers! Posted Jul 1, 2004 18:19 UTC (Thu) by micampe (guest, #4384) [Link] Straight from the first rows of the home page:"""What is Mono? Mono is a comprehensive open source development platform based on the .NET framework that allows IT and ISV developers to build Linux and cross-platform applications with unprecedented productivity."""
Mono 1.0 released Posted Jul 2, 2004 14:43 UTC (Fri) by Destructo (guest, #17736) [Link] yeah the logo actually looks like Igoo http://www.fortunecity.com/bennyhills/pun/190/igoorockapeherculoids.htmfrom The Herculoids i have too much time on my hands..
