Re: Mono Handbook - Available Jobs

Hello!

> Currently we need:

In this particular chapter, I think a few things can be said which are
outside the scope of the regular .NET threading:

	* Gtk-issues with threads (we can copy paste some of this from
	  a google search on this, there are a couple of posts from
	  Owen on this subject).

	* How to make all your GUI code run in one thread, and how to
	  wake-up/notify the main thread from a separate thread.  There
	  are two ways:

		* ThreadNotify, which calls a delegate on the main
		  thread.

		* The Idle add trick (this used to be broken, but seems
	  	  fixed now).

My only comment here is that we can start by "describing" the inner
working of the samples provided by Lluis on the mailing list as a
crash-course, and then digging deeper into it.

Ecma CIL class docs DTD and XML Schema

Hi!

I found a DTD in a zip file containing the class library documentation 
submitted to ecma. Converted it using w3c's little perl script to xml schema.

Best regards
 Per Arneng

<schema
  xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema'
  targetNamespace='http://www.w3.org/namespace/'
  xmlns:t='http://www.w3.org/namespace/'>

 <element name='AssemblyCulture'>
  <complexType mixed='true'>
  </complexType>
 </element>

 <element name='AssemblyInfo'>
  <complexType>
   <sequence>
    <element ref='t:AssemblyName'/>
    <element ref='t:AssemblyPublicKey'/>
    <element ref='t:AssemblyVersion'/>
    <element ref='t:AssemblyCulture'/>
    <element ref='t:Attributes'/>
   </sequence>
  </complexType>
 </element>

Note on ECMA DTD

Hi!

I found the dtd inside the zip on the bottom of this page:
http://www.intel.com/ids/ecma

Whe converting it to source code and deserializing it the only
problem that occured was the dual definition of 'example'
inside 'Docs'. So maybe this dtd need some checking before usage.
I do not know if the dtd was autogenerated but it contains this line:

Mono Developer FAQ

Hey guys,

   I think we need a Mono Developer FAQ.  The current FAQ covers things
of mono-nature, but not things like `how do I make my code portable',
`What toolkit do I use', `How can I find the User Home directory' and so
on.

   We need a volunteer to put this together: monitor the mailing lists,
and add relevant information to this document.

   Ideally it follows the same format as the faq in mono/doc/faq, so we
can easily publish it on the web site.

Miguel.

Hi Miguel,

I'll volunteer to put something together.

Having taken a look at that file in cvs, is it just "sort of html" but more of a text than html document in places?

Regards,

Lee.

Actually, thinking about this again, maybe we should just do it right,
and use full HTML with CSS to do it.

I'm trying to build latest monodoc cvs, just doing a 'make' on the

This bug was recently fixed.  Sorry about that (tbf pointed it out on
irc).  I was comparing a string with an object, and that failed.

The code that handled this was disabled, as it had a dependency on some
runtime internals.  Since the code is now functional, I have enabled
support for dynamic codepage loading.

You can get this from CVS, or from our next release.

Miguel.
