The .mono project was created by the owner of the Gnome project and some of their apps must use the .mono runtime in order to use the app, like the Banshee application requires the .mono to run and the .mono was at one time a project in work with Microsoft's .net so that some apps that is found on windows can be created so that it can be run on linux.
I know I'm pretty much on target about the .mono info, but I'm sure someone else will have more info on that.
