[DotGNU]DotGNU leadership and other comments

[David Sugar]

I just got back in from France, and I am going to be sleeping for awhile.  I 
think we should begin by explaining the philisophical position of the project, 
and I should explain some of the basic issues and requirements of GNU package 
maintainers so they are understood.  In this particular project there is also 
issues to be considered as to how we impliment compatible services and how we 
avoid contaminating that process with inspection of Microsoft code or 
binaries.  These cover some basic issues and are ones I can help everyone 
understand first.  After that, I believe it is correct to draw upon RFC's and 
to document key operations before we initiate many packages.

There are several that can be done right now however; there is the .net 
runtime and C# languate which are submitted for consideration as standards, 
and the standards documentation provides a base reference for these.  A gcc 
target for the runtime target could also be initiated and would allow us to 
immediately leverage much of the gcc language support that exists today 
immediately.

I will comment in much more detail on these things after I have had some 
sleep...
