Wise words. Please note that Nicolas used quotation marks around the "until it will work" part of the sentence. ;-) Does it really "have to work" to attract developers? Don't the core libraries work very well by now? I think the bigger problem is to "make it look like it works". ;-) I personally think that when Camaelon 2.0 is released, GNUstep will suddenly get a small boost of public awareness. It's all about the look of the interface. (Would OSX have gotten such a big attention if it wouldn't have had this fancy Aqua-look? ;->) Most people just can't motivate themselves to try a desktop (*duck*), whose widgets look this "old". (This is not intended to be the start of another Theme-related flamewar. I just want to point out that I personally think people will take the project more serious when it provides a look and feel that looks more like KDE, GNOME or OSX.) -Guenther _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
