Well, .NET should be supported. World domination doesn't happen by
rebuilding things, but by taking them over. This is a way for Opensource to
take over .NET!!

1. Because we need to keep Microsoft honest on this stuff. We can't let
them turn it into another "run the binary and trust us" system.
The security issues are too great. Only the open source model can produce
a truly secure system.
2. I like messing with parsers and runtimes and stuff. It's fun! :)

I'm excited to see someone working on this. The .Net framework is very
cool, but can only be really cool if it is across platforms. Good
luck!

Doing it "right" ?

Have you thought about adding C# to the languages that GCC supports and
adding the runtime byte code as a valid output format? Essentially you
would build a cross-compiler...

This question is answered in the Portable.NET FAQ, which can be found here. It's not
as easy as it looks.
