Sounds absolutely brilliant, and I'd hate to sound critical of what is 
obviously a fine effort... But I'm a bit miffed that you selected .NET, 
because I live in another platform world (Mac OS X, in my case), and 
some linux projects notwithstanding, it's fair to say that your efforts 
will be unaccessible to a lot of the Mozart constituency, which is also 
unix-based.

If/when you're done, would you consider lending us some of your code 
base back, in case someone (...) wants to re-implement it in some 
currently  platform-neutral language like Java? I'm thinking of an 
Eclipse plug-in for Mozart, or something like that. (If you have not 
looked at www.eclipse.org, stop reading this boring e-mail and jump 
there. It's quite the dream IDE.) Now, I fully realize that not 
everybody wants to opensource, and I won't blame you otherwise, but I 
had to ask.
