> * that does not mean GNUstep is not helpful -- because it is! I would make the argument that it is increasingly helpful to have GNUstep around given the growth of the iPhone and iPad. Part of the hard sell for GNUstep was that the Mac itself wasn't a huge market, despite being the *major* market for ObjC software. So the proposition of GNUstep at that time was a fraction of a fraction. With the rise of iOS, we see companies have become more willing to invest in development of ObjC software. That gives them a resource so they can then say "hey, how else can we leverage this software?". That might mean they look closer at making Mac apps, but it might also mean they look closer at GNUstep as a way to have their .m objects functional on their server platforms. At this stage, I think that would be the best way to find a market for GNUstep. -- iPhone apps that matter: http://appstore.subsume.com/ My personal UDP list: 127.0.0.1, localhost, googlegroups.com, astraweb.com, and probably your server, too. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
