If you know of a way to support both OS/X and GNUstep then I will help out from my side. I dont own a machine with GNUstep installed and I probably never will. But I am all for portability. You say the CoreFoundation stuff is not implemented in GNUstep yet. The only reason I am using that is for integration with OS/X's 'window manager' and desktop environment. I'd guess there are other methods for doing the same in GNUstep. Incidentally the GTK+ port uses Quartz and CF. I'm not gonna get into pissing contest on the philosophy of free software. Beating people with an idea will never make them accept it. I for one believe in free software. But you have to bridge the gap to get people move from one camp to another. _______________________________________________ Gajim-devel mailing list Gajim-devel@gajim.org https://lists.gajim.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/gajim-devel
