[Olpc-open] Looking for an xo user support/community mailer

[Paul Russell]

My first project is to see if I can get the XO to talk to Air Tunes and
stream music over 802.11.

It appears that the work has been done for the streaming to air tunes using
a Mono App. http://www.last.fm/user/mischa/journal/2006/08/5/200156/

Anyone know if its possible to run Mono on the XO?

Paul
