i do. i want to create useful programs. but i did not choose linux because it is popular. i chose it because i think it is did some things right and it is accessible without expensive fees. so i think open source is the way to bring nextstep to the masses.
And who said that I would be only developing open source? Why not developing commercial software, and help develop gnustep at the same time, because I need some specific functionality. And some open- source for the fun of it.
i have nothing against that.

having such a limited audience. They are so *protective*, which is really discouraging.

I am fully prepared to make a total new start. So I stared looking into gnustep. Like I already said, I could not get it right. So now I am stuck with writing for osx.
i hope someone can help you.

I am sorry that I want to produce something practical... (I am using linux by the way, as a firewall. I hope I did not offend you personally.)
its ok. i use linux at work and at home. i am being paid to produce something practical too. -- the thing i like with my linux pc is that i can sum up my complaints in 5 items _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
