Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team
Well, this is surprising isn't it? Microsoft are handing over the Mono Project to the Wine developers with a thank you note.
Thank you Microsoft! Eternal gratitude for the kind things you do for us in the Free Software community...
I'm not explicitly mentioned in the post, but effectively the maintainer duties for the Mono project now fall on me.

I am going to have to request that issues and code contributions be refiled at Winehq for those who still care about them. I have enough on my plate just getting things up and running in their new home, along with my other duties at CodeWeavers, and I don't have the bandwidth to sort through that whole backlog.

libgdiplus does, as it's a Mono (class library) dependency. So do any submodules. But I don't think we can handle separate projects like MonoDevelop, unless they're important for some reason.

I can't spend any time on it, I'm stretched thin as it is. Winehq could probably provide a space for it, but I can't help with development.

I hope this means I can use paint.NET on wine, because that one single program is the reason I dual boot.
Paint.NET 3.5 works fine under Wine. Later versions will require better Direct2D implementation from Wine.
