Roadmap •

As far as platforms, I'd like to conform the project for win32 and OpenWindows/Linux compliance. And of course the language/framework to use is C#/.NET/Mono. I figure eventually with the porting effort of Mono to the G4/G5 PowerPC platform and Mac OSX everything will become available and it should work much like the Linux implementation!
