I didn't say that your writing was wrong or that the phrasing was
suboptimal. I just think that you put things out of context.
Why do you think do we have "nothing to advertise successfully"
after all those years?

I'm not quite sure whether you read my mail. All your points are
good but thats a different thread, and one which I'm not very
motivated to discuss again ;-) In fact thats what I liked about
Nicola's proposal, it suggests to do something with the things we
actually do have, right now, instead of arguing about what GNUstep
could be.
Yes, I tend to read the emails I reply to. Anyway, we do have Gorm
right now, we also have GWorkspace, we have a good Mail app and so
on ;-)
I guess I simply doubt the importance of gstep-base as a promoter for
the GNUstep project. Moreover, regarding the enterprise business as a
potential option to advertise GNUstep, I am just not sure it will
work because it did not work for the last decade or so.
Anyway, what would be your proposal?
I've no proposal which is why I _asked_ for suggestions on how it
would be possible to turn Nicola's idea into something which can be
advertised. I'm kinda confused why you reask the same question to me.
Well, probably because I am curious to hear whether you have an idea
yourself? ;-)
