I would lean away from anything that is overly Apple-branded, such as Cocoa, because it's as out of our control as the NeXT naming was. Better would be something like "Objective-GNU", which hits the underlying technology more. Still not good from a user perspective, though, because they essentially have no exposure to those things. It again all comes down to the question of what the project really, really wants to be. Right now, it is a very inside-the-box, non-differently-thought reimplementation of what Apple is doing. Bigger aims would require a bigger rebranding. -- iPhone apps that matter: http://appstore.subsume.com/ My personal UDP list: 127.0.0.1, localhost, googlegroups.com, theremailer.net, and probably your server, too. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
