Weel, it's been a long time since I last looked at the Mono project (cross platform .Net) but since I now have an 8Gb Pi running a 64bit OS I thought I would give it another try.
It has come a very long way since I last gave it a look and now pretty much supports all flavours of the .Net framework. As quick test, I created a page that loads data from a csv file and then graphs it using a javascript charting library

I doubt it would be possible to move the entire forum code base to mono, but may try at some point

First problem is the third party component Postal.Mvc which I use for templated emails using the view templates doesn't work in Mono, it just errors, although I think I have now sorted this mostly by writing my own template parser.
Second problem, none of the plugins work

Mono is an Open Source free programming language project. It is an implementation of Microsoft’s .NET Framework based on the European association for standardizing information and communication systems (ECMA) standards for C# language and Common Language Runtime (CLR).

So it basically allows you to re-compile Windows based .Net code and get it running on Linux/Mac OS.

I have managed to get one of the plugins working, so am fairly confident I can now get the others sorted.
