Hello list,
Since this is my first post, let me introduce myself.
My name is Lorenzo Dematte', I live and work in Italy and I'm 31. I am currently employed in a software company that build automation systems for public transport using open source software.
My goal there is to renew their current systems, based mainly on C and ad-hoc servers and protocols, one piece at the time.
I come from the MS world, therefore a natural choice for me is to use Mono.

I have read on Miguel's blog that you are looking for help in implementing part of the ASP.NET stack using async functionatlities, and I decided it was something great to do!
I am finishing a major project at work this week, after that I will have some spare time so.. I'd like to help!
On the plus side, I have a good experience with fairly low level hacking on the CLR (my master thesis was on extensions to the "Rotor" C# compiler and CLR (do you remember "Rotor"? :) ) for injecting and checking temporal invariants on class variables over multiple threads).
Also, I have good experience with async programming, both as a "user" of async apis, and as a designer (I have designed a DI framework with method calls over multiple tasks for my previous employer, and in 2009 I have done an intership at MSR on parallel computing with continuations for C# and F#).
On the minus side, I have neves seen the Mono source code, and I haven't done any major contribution to OSS... but I want to start and this is a project that I like and that gets me excited!

Anyway, I need to know from you guys how to proceed.
I suppose that for this kind of project you can't just pull from git and the submit a push request when its done..
Is there someone coordinating the efforts so that duplicate work can be minimized?
Has someone already done a design phase, identified the areas to patch, and what needs to be done?
Is a review of the Mono ASP.NET stack needed?
... and many other questions.

Hopefully I could be able to contribute to this project, let me know how I can help!

Best,
Lorenzo Dematte'

Hello,
I am starting to wonder if this was the right list to write to..
Where should I post my proposal?
Can someone point me to the right list?
Thanks!

Lorenzo
