Dotgnu Coding Competition

Honestly writes "Apparently DotGNU seems to be offering more than the 'warm fuzzy feeling' to its contributors. Somebody has funded about $4500 worth of prizes for code contributions. The developers have confirmed that the $$$ is in FSF Hands (good hands, I suppose). Here is the split up of prizes. It's almost strange to earn money writing open source. Especially when you're not even employed by dotgnu. Anyway all I can say is ,I like it. It's ideal for a grad student with lots of free time. But hardly anyone seems to have seen the Newsforge posts (except maybe me)."

I'm sure I'm not the only one with this question:

What's the difference between gotGnu and Ximian's Mono project?

I've googled for some details, but I'm not .NET literate enough to really distinguish the two. Anyone want to give a short explanation of the differences? Thanks.

Sounds more like using reverse psychology to get people to work for slave wages.

Or perhaps I was just put off by the #irc and pnetlib contribution requirements....
