Not trying to start a huge religious or anything, but I was wondering if
anyone had been thinking about switching conglomerate development to
mono.

Personally I've been quite impressed with the apps like f-spot and muine
and was wondering if people think there would be any mileage in trying
to move some of the conglomerate code base to c# as I think it would
make it easier for people to get involved in the development and make
the implementation of features around the main editing area easier.

Obviously this does mean reimplementing some of the stuff that's already
in place, but it maybe necessary for things to go backwards in order to
go forward.

Opinions please.

I'm mainly a Java man myself, but I think mono is probably a better fit
for Gnome apps. So I'm putting my religious feelings aside.
