[PIGMI] ExEn: Cross platform Xna on RocketHub

[Aranda Morrison]

Those interested in Xna may have already heard, but Andrew Russell has decided 
to try to get crowd funding to progress his implementation before going Open 
Source with it. He copped a bit of flak for forking two other libraries 
(XnaTouch and Silversprite) then trying to get money for it, but he argues that 
he has made massive changes (improvements) and submitting patches of this 
magnitude is not feasible. I've given XnaTouch a try and I can say with 
certainty that there is much room for improvement. Find out more at the 
RocketHub 
page: http://rockethub.com/projects/752-exen-xna-for-iphone-android-and-silverlight and
 on his blog: http://andrewrussell.net/. 

Apparently a similar  thing was done with Blender. Personally I find it 
intriguing and I'm tempted to contribute. I'm pretty sure I'll find the end 
result useful, but I'm still hesitant to commit cash to something so nebulous 
that I'd get for free a few months later anyway.

This is just a heads up really but I'd be interested to know peoples thoughts on 
this approach to building an open source project.
