The University of Pisa hosts a .NET web site (http://dotnet.di.unipi.it) and Rotor-related mailing lists, as well as indexed source code and other resources. DevelopMentor hosts several CLI-related mailing lists, which are archived at http://discuss.develop.com. There is an active newsgroup at http://nntp://microsoft.public.shared_source.cli.

There are two significant open source projects built around the CLI specification: the Mono project (http://www.go-mono.org) and the DotGNU Portable .NET project (http://www.southern-storm.com.au/portable_net.html). Look to these sites for yet more interesting source code.
