Short intermezzo, there is a web page, that I use as a reference when I am confused: https://www.objectfarm.org/Activities/Publications/TheMerger/OpenstepConfusion.html So if we follow those conventions, GNUstep would be the frameworks/API and GNUSTEP the desktop. If domain names were case sensitive we could have GNUstep.org for the frameworks and GNUSTEP.org for the desktop. ; ) Now that isn’t the case so we need other ideas … Kind regards, Lars
