Monotheka is a simple application to organize and keep track of your movie catalogue. Monotheka runs on Linux platform using the GTK toolkit. Its designed to be simple and GNOME / HIG compliant. Its written in Mono. Its free.
Monotheka is in an early stage of development, but its already pretty usable. Development happens on Novell Forge, youre encouraged to join the project.
Main features:

Mono is a comprehensive open source development platform based on the .NET framework that allows developers to build Linux and cross-platform applications with unprecedented productivity. Monos .NET implementation is based on the ECMA standards for C# and the Common Language Infrastructure.

Sponsored by Novell the Mono project has an active and enthusiastic contributing community. Mono includes both developer tools and the infrastructure needed to run .NET client and server applications.

Mono includes a compiler for the C# language, an ECMA-compatible runtime engine (the Common Language Runtime, or CLR),and class libraries. The libraries include Microsoft .NET compatibility libraries (including ADO.NET, System.Windows.Forms and ASP.NET), Monos own and third party class libraries.Gtk#, a set of .NET bindings for the gtk+ toolkit and assorted GNOME libraries can be found in the later.

This library allows you to build fully native Gnome application using Mono and includes support for user interfaces built with the Glade interface builder. Furthermore, Monos runtime can be embedded into applications for simplified packaging and shipping. In addition, the Mono project offers an IDE, debugger, and documentation browser.

Mono-Readline is a simple little assembly for .Net (specifically Mono) that provides support for GNU Readline support within Mono applications.

Mono-Readline project is based on the code of Martin Baulig in the Mono debugger. I just took it and made it all nice and autoconf/automake enabled.

Its pretty straight forward, but here is a short sample program:

using Mono.ReadLine;
using System;
using System.Reflection;

public class Test {

public static void Main(string[] args) {
GnuReadLine readline = new GnuReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("Monkeys!");

string the_prompt = "This is a test: ";
string result;
while (true) {
result = readline.ReadLine(the_prompt);
if (result != null) {
readline.AddHistory(result);
} else {
break;
}
}
}
}

You should be able to compile this with mcs -r:mono.readline test.cs and get a little executable program that keeps going until you hit CTRL-D. There is lots of other fun you could do such as setting up continuation prompts and what not. Basically, most of this is ripped from Martins code in the mono debugger.

But wait, odds are youre going to get some funky error saying it cant find the package or something like that. If thats the case, make sure you have MONO_PATH="/usr/local/lib" set before running the program and compiling. For example to compile run:

MONO_PATH="/usr/local/lib" mcs -r:mono.readline test.cs

And then to run type:

MONO_PATH="/usr/local/lib" mono test.exe

Im not a real Mono pro, but my hope is that this could possibly help someone else out. Im thinking that in the future I may also include a patch for IronPython.

As always, if you have comments or patches, please let me know.

Team Foundation for Mono is an implementation of the Team Foundation libraries and related client programs for the Mono .Net platform. Team Foundation is a collection of collaborative technologies that support a team effort to deliver a product from Microsoft that includes bug tracking, source control, and other capabilities.
This project focuses currently on the SCM related libraries and tools. It includes a fairly functional version of the TF client used to access the SCM capabilities of Team Foundation servers. In some respects, its usability exceeds that of the standard TF tool. It also includes some subcommands from the TF Power Tool, and leverages the Gnome Keyring when available. Team Foundation does not do file attribute tracking, but the included TF client in this project leverages libmagic to implement file attribute tracking on unix platforms.
Team Foundation is tightly integrated into the Visual Studio platform. This project will hopefully someday include a MonoDevelop plugin as well as implementations of the other non-SCM related Team Foundation libraries.
For registered developers, CodePlex is a publicly accessible example of a Team Foundation server used to host open source projects.
Enhancements:
- This release adds the "tf shelvesets" command (brief output only), support for writable working folders, "tf help < cmd >" with display of valid options for each command, the "tf branches" command (limited testing), the "tf online < list of files >" option, the "tf diff /brief" option, support for "tf add /recursive < path >", 20 new test cases for the tf client program, a "tf help /list" helper for shell completion, a progress indicator for GetCommand when setting permissions, the History.StopAfter option, and many bugfixes.

IronPython is an implementation of Python running on Microsoft .NET / Mono. It supports an interactive interpreter with fully dynamic compilation.

IronPython is well integrated with the rest of the framework and makes all .NET libraries easily available to Python programmers.
