We will look for ways to collaborate with Mono developers and encourage them to take our code to improve Mono. We will also look for opportunities to improve .NET Core with MIT-licensed Mono code. An important collaboration opportunity is making .NET Core NuGet packages (produced from this code) work on Mono. The SIMD NuGet package is a perfect example. - ## Learning about ASP.NET Core 5 and .NET Core 5 ASP.NET Core 5 is a new cross-platform version of ASP.NET that is designed for From 0df516f66bbff46a7c98ad8123e6b2377ed28bd2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Lander Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2014 21:00:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Fix wording on porting .NET Framework features. --- README.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 08555b1..ef934a2 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -51,7 +51,7 @@ They are also many great open source .NET community projects, such as: .NET Core and the .NET Framework (for the most part) have a subset-superset relationship. .NET Core is named as "Core" since it contains the core features from the .NET Framework, for both the runtime and framework libraries.
