Hi,

the README states to "Drag and Drop the directory MonoDevelop.MonoGame.1.6.0 into ~/.config/MonoDevelop/addins" to install the Monogame templates.
However, this no longer works.
Here's the reply from Xamarin regarding this issue:

The ~/.config/MonoDevelop was used for MD 2.4 and earlier, but we migrated to a new layout in 2.6 and later: http://monodevelop.com/Developers/Articles/User_Profiles. In particular, addins for MD 2.8 on Mac would go in ~/Library/Application Support/MonoDevelop-2.8/Addins. However, it would be better for MonoGame to convert their addin into an mpack package using "mdtool setup pack", so that it could be installed via the Addin Manager.
