The subject of mono and mono develop came up today in an interview.

Mono
An open source, cross-platform, implementation of C# and the CLR that is binary compatible with Microsoft.NET

MonoDevelop
An open Source C# and .NET development environment for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X

I really want to learn more about these projects.  I have invested a lot of time with WordPress, and it is simply amazing.  For me, pound for pound – the best web front end.

But I really, really like .NET.  My favorite thing to use .NET for is our scripts and services.

Here is a post from a mono developer blog.

So this can be a bridge between different parts of the development world.
