IMHO the goal of gnustep is being a platform which open-source mac apps can be ported to so that people don't have to run a proprietary kernel to use these apps.
Just like ReactOS is there for people to use Notepad++ without having to purchase the proprietary OS. I am learning GNUStep platform for a few months now but low activity on IRC is completely killing everything. - http://www.gnustep.it/Renaissance/Documentation.html has a section about connectors. No intro and no example. I am stuck and I can not easily continue from there (I like this xml way of doing things a bit more than gorm, I think) - I would like to store, view, and search documentation offline, but I do not know whether http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/docbook.html is the format helpviewer.app reads or it reads a different one. - ProjectCenter.app crashes on Debian and nobody is uploading a new version there. -- I would like to see or create a distribution which has GNUStep/Etoile/GAP packages (and builtin offline documentation in help viewer, including man pages, user facing documentation, and developer documentation about the classes) which is running linux-libre. Without any GTK/QT/ROX/etc packages. So that it's self contained and newcomers are likely to start developing stuff. Probably source-based or at least with an easy package manager and easy means to create packages to test them locally, and easy to share with others. I am considering publishing a small copy of the Archlinux distribution for this purpose but maybe source-based distribution would be better? I do not have large experience in this regard. -- Svetlana A.
