the goal I stated above. GNUstep is an crossplatform development
environment and API only. It is not a desktop, nor is it going to
be an OS clone.
I'd say clean up www.gnustep.org then, as it (still) says: "GNUstep
is ... ...a desktop". You can read that in the main introduction:
http://www.gnustep.org/information/aboutGNUstep.html
;-)
Anyway, please would you explain why you think that programmers
should/will use GNUstep as their primary API for GUI applications if
there is no "native" environment for GNUstep apps? Do you really
believe GNUstep GUI apps will - one day (...) - be perfectly
integrated into Windows, X11 and maybe OS X so that the users by then
won't able to tell the difference between a GNUstep GUI app and an
application written using the native technologies of their platform/
desktop environment?
I hope you have a good plan here, because not even NeXT succeeded in
this respect, nor Trolltech (with Qt) or other similar projects. But
if GNUstep won't provide this level of integration, why should
anybody use gnustep-gui then? I'm really curious how you see this as
new chief maintainer of GNUstep and also Gorm.
cheers,
