Mono Project News

Rob Howard today announced that their Graffiti product will run on top of Mono, and the platforms supported by Mono:

Early this week we announced that VistaDB will be the database that Graffiti uses by default. You will be able to use other databases (SQL Server and MySQL) too, but we liked VistaDB for a variety of reasons. One of which we're officially announcing today:

Graffiti is going to run on Mono.

There are a variety of reasons why adding Mono support makes sense. But the biggest reason is choice. It gives people more choices for how they want to use Graffiti.

By supporting Mono, in addition to Microsoft .NET, Graffiti will be available on the following platforms:

Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and Unix

We're not there yet, but we've been working with some folks on the Mono team to make the necessary changes in Graffiti to run on Mono. Everyday we get a little closer, but we're far enough along now that we're ready to start talking about it.

Of course, having someone like Telligent making this announcement has made all of us very happy. We look forward to their product launch.

Here is an intro about what Graffiti is.
