Hi Alain and Adrian, I understand that most, if not all, that is available from the FreeCard project now is source files that need to be compiled. I don't mind tryng to do that, as long as I have an idea of what I am going to get. Why don't you compile a few things that work, even if they don't do much more than putting a window on screen? If you want to motivate me and others, you should provide much more information about the project. A few screenshots is the least I expect. These screenshots doesn't have to be real; you can make pictures that show where you want to go with the project.
Contrary to what you may think, the information in the Pantechnicon does not tell the potential user or developer much about the FreeCard project. It is even not clear whether it will eventually be able to import HyperCard stacks. If you are telling me that it really is there somehwere, then apparently you've put the info in the wrong place. I have downloaded lots of Java tutorials and with your help I could put something together and compile the source files. Later, I can learn more about Java and maybe I can actually contribute, but I am not at that stage yet. There is a good chance that I will be asked to give a presentation at the Apple Expo Paris 2003. I could talk about open source projects, since Apple thinks that open source is very important, and link it to the FreeCard project. You'll understand that I'll need something that I can show, preferably a limited but working authoring tool. Do you have anything for me? As to the question whether MacOS 9 is worth considering, I am using MacOS 9 only and many people are. There are still many more old Macs being used than new Macs, especially by home users. If I am going to present anything in Paris, it will probably have to run on MacOS X, but if I am going to use it as a developing tool, it will have to run on MacOS 9 and the products I develop with it too.
