"We will also for the first time allow developers outside of Microsoft to submit patches and code contributions that the Microsoft development team will review for potential inclusion in the products."

translation: we're taking a big risk here, so please don't laugh at how badly designed our code is, instead help us make it become actually decent! Thanks in advance for your free work towards an even more perfect Borg collective!

Hmm, will this help or hinder the Mono project?  After all, ASP.NET still only runs on Windows servers.  Hopefully the Mono project will now be better able to duplicate ASP.NET functionality, which in turn will make ASP.NET more of a competitor to the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) that many developers use to run on multiple platforms.
