Unfortunately the dotgnu-sc mail list is over spammed (
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/ ) so I am -not-
subscribed to it.

I have written back in 2006 a paper on DotGNU, and I described in this
paper components of DotGNU like I understood them then. It has been
translated to various languages. There is a link to the Spanish
version: http://www.procodigo.com/art3_Conociendo_dotGNU.htm

This is an introduction and rational to libJIT:

I live in the Eastern Europe, but geography is not an issue in this
case. I am ready to pay for the air tickets and transportation for a
worthy conference, but unfortunately I cannot afford conferences fees
and housing.

Also if there is just one thing that is possible to do for dotgnu and
its parts, this project need someone whose native language is English
to help with texts with good style, sense, and grammar. I want to
point that although this looks like an easy task from first
impression, this is not an easy task.


P.S. Sorry for the previous bogus email.

Thanks,
Kirill
