GNOME 3.0 may have more Mono apps
The next major version of the GNOME desktop environment, version 3.0, may contain more than the one Mono-dependent application than it currently does, according to GNOME Foundation member Dave Neary.
In response to a query as to what extent Mono-dependent applications would be present in GNOME 3.0, which is planned as a major overhaul of the desktop environment, Neary said: "The only Mono app which is already part of the GNOME desktop release set is Tomboy. There are other popular Mono applications among GNOME users, including F-Spot, Banshee and GNOME Do, but for the moment, Tomboy is the only one which has been included in a release set. Between now and GNOME 3.0, however, that may change."
Mono is an attempt to create an open source clone of Microsoft's .NET development environment; the project was begun some years by current Novell vice-president Miguel de Icaza who claims this will pull Windows developers over to GNU/Linux.
Icaza's efforts have come in for a great deal of criticism due to the fear that Mono may cause patent problems down the track and may have to be jettisoned from GNU/Linux altogether.
