The purpose of the list is, obviously, to foster discussion. (Shall I keep stating the obvious?)

No one shall ever be banned from this list for having a difference of opinion with anyone. Abusive behavior is an exception to this, as is following people off list and making personal attacks. > I am still interested to find out about the goals (or if there are any) of > this project > by following such discussions.

Now that OpenStep has evolved into Cocoa I believe GNUstep's mission is extended to one of bringing the ease of Cocoa development to as many platforms as possible. This mission includes the idea of a "porting environment" if we were only that we would not have ProjectCenter and Gorm. I have been discussing with Ivan the idea of a "reference platform" for GNUstep. That is to say a platform which is tuned to give the user the best possible experience with the framework. Think along the lines of NeXTSTEP/Mach or OPENSTEP/Mach vs. OpenStep for Solaris or OpenStep Enterprise for Windows (OSE). It's not as complex as some are trying to make it. > BR, > Nikolaus Yours, -- Gregory Casamento GNUstep Lead Developer / OLC, Principal Consultant http://www.gnustep.org - http://heronsperch.blogspot.com http://ind.ie/phoenix/
