Planning Bonsoir 2.0

In true developer fashion, I've just barely gotten Bonsoir 1.0 out, and I'm already planning Bonsoir 2.0.

After a good bit of discussion in #barcamp on the Freenode network, I've decided to embark on a Windows, and possibly a Linux version of Bonsoir. Unfortunately, there will be some snags, and it definitely won't be as easy as Bonsoir 1.0 :)

The current design for Bonsoir 2.0 will be based around a C# core, using the same concepts I intend on displaying in my presentation at CocoaDevHouseTexas. Which will mean the core will need to be re-written, and all of the logic code will need to be separated from the UI code, as to allow me to strap a Cocoa UI, a Windows Forms UI, or a GTK# UI atop the existing C# code.


So, what do I need is the key question. I've discussed this a bit in #barcamp, and I think I've relegated it to a few things that I need to write the next open source (BarCamp Licensed) version of Bonsoir, which will run on almost every platform.
  • A Mac License for Parallels so I can develop the Windows Forms UI
  • A full version of Visual Studio .NET would be amazingly cool, but not needed, the free "express" edition should suffice.
  • lots and lots of tacos and Coke :)
  • Graphical design help would be great, Bonsoir needs an icon, and some more UI ideas


Can anybody help me write some cool software with a donation or three? :D

Can you also provide hCard output for browsing in any web browser so, for example, I can surf to a list of available hcards on any given network?
Chris, I'll be sure to keep this in mind just for you :)

A relatively simple vCard -> hCard transformer should be simple to write in C#
