+** Data Access in Mono

+<ul>
+	<li>Today, our goal is to be compatible with .NET 1.0 and .NET 1.1.  We also would like
+   to extend data access beyond what is included with .NET 1.0 and .NET 1.1,
+   such as, including access to more databases, such as, PostgreSQL and MySQL,
+   but also provide classes that help in creating data source-agnostic code, such as, Mono.Data.ProviderFactory.</li>
+   <li>In the future, we would like to be compatible with .NET 1.2. This
+   would include features like:
+	<ul> 
+		<li><a href="http://longhorn.msdn.microsoft.com/lhsdk/ndp/daconworkingwithobjectspacesarchitecture.aspx">ObjectSpaces</a></li>
+		<li>provide support for hosting Mono languages (C-Sharp, MonoBASIC, etc...)
+            within a DBMS engine, such as, MySQL or PostgreSQL.</li>
+		<li>implement .net 1.2 classes, such as, those found in System.Data.ProviderBase</li>
+		<li>other stuff which can be brought up on the mono-list</li>
