Is anyone aware of any projects out there to port a version of the .NET framework to the Android platform, kind of like Mono.Touch?

It seems that you can build Mono for the Android with little more than the Android NDK. More info at http://www.koushikdutta.com/search/label/Mono; source code, instructions, etc are on Github.

I know the mono team is working on an android port. However Miguel hasn't posted any recent news about it from what I can tell.

Miguel de Icaza's announced on his blog on the 17th of Feb 2010 that they are starting work on mono for android which will be called MonoDroid.

This will be similar to MonoTouch on the iphone but for android instead.
