Hi Alan,

I mainly focus on hurd, and make it work there.

I have a plan to release one full function text base hurd with perfect
Chinese support,
and now I try to make Chinese input method works first.

Why I need dotgnu is that I hope I can support one workable ncurses with c#
binding( under help of swig), that's may be interesting for some hack to do
first program in Hurd:), but port mono was not easy.

dotgnu was not so well, but it's small and easy envolution.

I am very interesting to make dotgnu to be one debian native package, to
make it easy for envolution.

Are you interesting in developing or other way to help?

Thanks,
Cong Zhang
