[Ironpython-users] WP7 & Silverlight Support in IronPython

[Jimmy Schementi]

I'd only support the latest released version of Silverlight, as if someone
really needs to support an older version of Silverlight (some internal app,
for example). So I'd vote for only SL5.

There are tests for SL in Hosts/Silverlight
