I've pointed out before that I'm going to take a crack at this blogengine.net thing. That all started in November. It's now March and I thought I'd update to the latest release. Just before Xmas, 1.3 was released, and included the tagline "Mono is now fully supported out of the box". Woohoo!

But, it's not quite right.

Four months after "Mono is now fully supported out of the box", I went and grabbed the latest released source and did an install. Disappointing. Many bugs and issues are still there. A number of pieces of functionality fail outright. The code is still littered with Windows reference paths and other assumptions. Bugs exists that only surface under a different implementation (like Mono on *nix).

I've started submitting to the Issue Tracker on CodePlex. I'm not hopeful as the issue tracker is full of n00bs screaming about how they couldn't get something to work. Let's see how it goes.
