Hey all,
The meet up went well. I REALLY enjoyed meeting everyone and I found the
discussion very interesting and productive. I took notes during the
meeting. We did not have an agenda so these points came up naturally. I
have noted who brought them up. Riccardo joined later, so I took down his
thoughts. I am glad we did this and am very much looking forward to the
next time.
So, for your comment and review here are the notes:
* Website (David Wetzel - DW)
* Need to have the website present a solution for installing GNUstep
quickly. Make a script…
* tutorials to get from to hello world quickly
* (Riccardo M. - RM) Discuss with Riccardo what changes are needed.
* Usability (DW)
* More command line interfaces
* Terminal based environment
* Terminal only based tutorial
* GCC vs. LLVM/Clang (DW)
* Clang has an advantage because ObjC is more of a focus
* Fred: Is it possible to get gcc up to spec?
* Require time from GS developers?
* Who should do it?
* Will GCC accept our patches?
* RMS asked, and GCC said they would review our patches with
“kinder” eye.
* Issues with libobjc2 - (RM) - This is a consistent issue on a lot of
platforms. LLVM/Clang Doesn’t work on ALL platforms.
* Doesn’t work NetBSD
* uses CMAKE, but would be better using STRAIGHT make as CMAKE is
not available or not easy to configure
* Cairo - Problems (Fred Kiefer - FK)
* unmaintained — should we move to another library??
* Can we replace the current Cairo with a hw accelerated library? Or
any other commonly used library that is maintained!?
* Cocotron (FK)
* Can we use any Cocotron code?
* MIT based. So we may be able to reuse some of their code or take
ideas from their code.
I will be posting these to the wiki or to the website soon.

Yours, GC
