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)Reply

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)Reply

Miguel said, "Xamarin comes from the tamarin monkey.". (Tamarin)--Exec second (talk) 22:20, 13 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
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)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply
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)Reply

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)Reply
