[Mono|http://www.mono-project.com] is "a comprehensive open source development platform based on the .NET framework that allows IT and ISV developers to build Linux and cross-platform applications with unprecedented productivity." Put simpler, it's an implementation of Microsoft's .NET for Unix, based on the standards for [C#]  and the Common Language Infrastructure that [Microsoft|MicrosoftCorporation] submitted to the [ECMA].

It's spearheaded by MiguelDeIcaza and "sponsored" (mostly written by) [Ximian]/[Novell].  Mono is Spanish for monkey.  (Miguel likes monkeys.)

Version 1.0 was released in July 2004.
