However, Moonlight development is dead, and Silverlight itself seems to be just as dead. (at least some of) Our Linux brethren are using Pipelight, e.g. see here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pipelight. I think porting Pipelight would be more beneficial than reviving Moonlight, as it, at the very least, would provide full Silverlight functionality instead of the subset offered by Moonlight. Anton
