Alex,

Building Tomboy on OS X is a bit of a mess right now...I'll respond
later with some more details for you, but here are some quick tips:

* Follow everything but the build instructions on this wiki page:
http://live.gnome.org/Tomboy/Developers
* Make sure you have Mono 2.0.1 and MonoDevelop 1.9 installed from
mono-project.com.
* Open up Tomboy.mac.sln and start playing with it.  You can use
MonoDevelop to build, and bundle-mac-app.sh to create a Tomboy.app to
test after you build.

Help on the Mac side would be very much appreciated, is there anything
in particular that interests you?  Here are the open mac bugs:

Will write more later,
Sandy
