GNUstep runs after Cocoa since 8 years. What does it gain for Open Source users ? Nothing !

IMO, it is foolish to give it to user, specialy in entreprise ( GSWeb is another beast, and does not use lot of Cococa extension anyway ) Fabien _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
