Sounds like an interesting project! But I have to say: the name you've chosen for Netduino really rankles, and I wish you'd change it. As an open platform, Arduino has benefited from the creative names that people have used for derived products: Freeduino, Boarduino, Ardweeny, Japanino, Wiseduino, etc. These boards are Arduino bootloader-compatible: software written for the Arduino will work on them. "Duino" is not a suffix meaning "hobbyist microcontroller platform". It's a specific reference to the Arduino project -- a project that, unless I'm mistaken, your efforts are not compatible with. I have to assume that you've chosen the name of your project in order to capitalize on the considerable success of the Arduino project. That's certainly understandable, but in this case I think it's likely to produce confusion among Arduino users -- particularly new ones. I think you're doing a disservice to the Arduino community, and I hope you'll consider renaming your project. I should say: I'm an Arduino user, but I have nothing to do with the people running the project, and of the derived projects, or those who own the trademark. Perhaps they feel differently.
