Towards a Local Mono Reference in Win32

I have created a new Novell Forge project for prototyping Mono technologies and their integration with MS Windows.

http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?monowin32

I will put the Mono library reference in MS Help 2.0 format once I complete the first cut of it.

In this new site you will find mono-1.0.1-gtksharp-1.0-win32-0.5d.exe this is essentially the same installer that you may find at the mono-project.com/downloads, but it should correct the problems that folks where having with some of the batch files the installer creates and other general PATH related issues.

This new installer also includes some HTML documentation for the Mono library reference but I will be the first to admit it looks hideous. As you may already imagine the content of this reference was generated from the XML files that are displayed in MonoDoc. A lot more work needs to go in generating true HTML with stylesheets and the like. In my defense, I thought that given the choice of not having a reference and having an ugly one, I would choose "having one".

Great "How To" resource

My friend Joseph Hill has created some great "Getting Started" guides over at:
