Mono attempts to provide a viable alternative to Microsofts .NET stack. IIRC this is the first time opensource project has attempted to compete with Microsoft before the technology gets mainstream. .NET is will not be mainstream until longhorn comes out. It gives the Mono developers the time to get the stack that is not only complete but may be tested as well.
Mono and dotGNU guys are trying to take the wind out of Microsoft's sails for what could become a ubiquitous platform for developement (at least on windows).
Had opensource developers done this for Java we wouldn't need Sun's stewardship (being a coporation they did a fine job in that role, so no complains from me!).
