missing info
editThe info panel needs to be updated, with the License details, Stable release, repo and possibly the size of the package macOS and Windows. for clarity, the platform should have a seperate page from the company. Like Android Studio has a seperate page from Google. And adding stub tag until more info is added. Aarondevo (talk) 01:10, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
Significance
editDoes anybody know the significance of the word Xamarin? What does it mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.13.183 (talk) 06:09, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
- Miguel said, "Xamarin comes from the tamarin monkey.". (Tamarin)--Exec second (talk) 22:20, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
- More specific: their nomenclature theme, changing first letter of a "monkey" related name to "x"— Tamarin, Simian -> Xamarin, Ximian, etc WurmWoodeT 19:19, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
Merge to Mono
editI think, Xamarin should have his own page. Xamarin develops Mono. But in the world of open source, a company and a product are mostly different things. --Marquis4057 (talk) 15:06, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed, and many (software) products have pages separate from their developers. 2001:983:58DF:1:F03F:F0AE:7C78:4CA4 (talk) 10:33, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
NPOV
editThe article uses words like "millions of developers use" and "developers can use Xarmin to...". No criticism section exists either. 98.122.177.25 (talk) 19:26, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- Those do not seem to be NPOV issues but simple statements of fact. An example of a possible NPOV issue would be a claim like "Xamarin is the best way to share code across multiple platforms", which would be opinion stated as fact. —suriv (talk) 17:39, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
- However, the former, "millions" (merely 1.4 M a/o 2017) is clearly hyperbole, not a fact without citation, i.e.: a typical, banal, marketing statement. WurmWoodeT 19:24, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
Pronounciation
editHow to pronounce it? [Ksamarin] or [Zamarin]? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.74.216.66 (talk) 06:03, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
