[Sugar-devel] Queries regarding Sugar Sharp assembly on Mono

[Harpreet Sareen]

The Sugar-Sharp assembly doesn't include today the binding for the Telepathy
Framework so we can't communicate with Sugar for networking operation.

By the way, there is already a Telepathy-Sharp that exists here:
Link<http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/TelepathySharp>
.
If somebody already has used Telepathy sharp earlier and/or knows about the
working of Telepathy and how it is interoperable with Sugar, then the person
could integrate TelepathySharp in his project and do the right call to
communicate with Sugar.

Regards
Harpreet
