        Sorry, I thought you had sent it to me to put up on the website.
later I noticed the CC: (oops). Anyway the final logs are posted 
on DotGNU.org/final.log.gz .

But a few comments on the chat. Also considering the overwhelming response
I want a vote of how many people want to do a small meet-up every weekend.
I mean small in the number of hours -- not people. Just small talk about 
the whole stuff (10 AM GMT and 10 PM GMT ie 2 small 1/2 hour sessions 
weekly). -- I think this will mean Rhys will be awake at both times ;)

        How is this Reflection.Emit done ?. I would like to take a *close*
look at it.

        System.Web.Security.PassportIdentity ?

        What about the DotGNU DE ? (DGDE for short)

        Anyone want to try this ?. (I'm thinking of making my CGI Demo into a 
fullfledged mod_pnet). In the skunkworks already.

        Any help would be more than welcome . Especially from an experienced
programmer.

        I think absurd(hero)'s efforts to test it on Mac OS X went surprising
easy. Seems like Portable.NET *is* portable.

        ;-). Maybe you could compile pnetlib after a million years.

        That's some *hot* advice
