What? What an incredibly strange, narrow, weird goal. I suggest that you need to learn the difference between a single goal (one shared aim that everyone works towards cooperatively) and your own personal primary purpose. What you describe is not even remotely connected with why I am interested in GNUstep. It is not on my top 10; it's not on my list at all. And that is what FOSS is about. Different people scratching their own itches. It's profoundly different from a company trying to make a product to sell. > Just like ReactOS is there for people to use Notepad++ without having to > purchase the proprietary OS. That -- that's /insane/. I mean, who would ever do that? Notepad++ is a decent editor but nothing special. If you really wanted and you are deeply opposed to proprietary OSes, you could run it under WINE, I guess. But installing and trying to use an unfinished research OS for one Windows app?
