missing info
[edit]The 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
[edit]Does 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
[edit]I 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
[edit]The 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
[edit]How to pronounce it? [Ksamarin] or [Zamarin]? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.74.216.66 (talk) 06:03, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
