Strategically speaking, while I think it makes sense for GNOME to invest in the fundamentals (core GTK+ windowing, DBus) of running on non-freedesktop.org platforms[1], developer time is better spent pushing the free platform as a whole forward. Competing with Qt/Swing/Windows.Forms/XULRunner/AIR (Qt in particular) for this is a big project. So in this particular case, our target audience for GTK+ on Windows/OS X is experienced developers familiar with the free desktop stack who at least somewhat understand autotools, etc. [1] I tend not to say "Linux" for this anymore; freedesktop.org is a lot more accurate _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
