Hi!
(this post is also in response to Terry Hancock, in the same thread)
Thanks for your reactions, apparently I'm not expressing myself very
clearly.
What I'm after is not primarly a usable dtp-system , wysiwyg or
"the-unix-way-with-lots-of-independent-comandline-programs";-)
What I'm primarly after is to create a _specification_ for a
wysiwyg-dtp-system, so that programmers later can actually implement the
system.
I want to do this for two reasons:
- I'm not a skilled programmer, and this seems like a great way to help
development in the gnu world, until I feel confident enough with way
programming skills.
- Many software-projects start with great entusiasm and after a while they
go to sleep maybe some time later development is continuad (by the same or
different person/s). This will also be a possibility with this project, the
differences are: documentation is always easily accesible for new developers
and if development has stopped developers can take the spec and actually
create a system (for what that's worth anyway).
if you want to help out, or think that this is a stupid idea, speak up! (not
meant to be offensive)
regards, tomas
