Excited to see this coming together and the move to github. I just wanted to add a few comments related to cross platform compatibility.
IPC in unix and windows are very different, and several things (Mutex classes, WCF), are not really supported on mono. In fact, to get the F# R type provider to work on my Mac I needed to remove the IPC server Code here and put it back in pro. Given all the recent open source stuff in .NET, I am not sure if this picture will change soon.
However, RStudio is AGPLv3, so if there sessions model is good (I know nothing of it), perhaps it would be worth investigating more.
