Question - Best forums to start an free project
Hello, I would like to know if you know of some forums or mailing lists where I can submit a message to START a free application project. I'm interested in developing a new integrated development environment and have some ideas on what to focus and what features to develop. However, I would like to exchange these ideas and try to start programming a new IDE and publish it somewhere but I'm kind of very lost.

Thanks for your help beforehand, /Hiram Discussions in this group are centered around a legally unenforceable but vexatious license known as the GPL. The license vainly attempts to convince folks that it can take control of others exclusive rights in their source code. The GPL is not a free license but one that attempts to be highly restrictive. Avoid it at all costs. You should google for various BSD groups that release their projects under the BSD style open source license. The Apache license is also a good license to use for open source, truly free applications.

I think it strongly depends on where the focus of your IDE is supposed to be, what language it is supposed to be written in, what language supposed to support etc etc. In the GNU world, Emacs is mostly used as an IDE. Of course, it has quite a number of quirks, having evolved for 30 years. So the question is whether you can raise lots of interest for your project. Eclipse is also rather well-known. GNOME/KDE might have their own preferred things. And so on. Basically the question is who would be interested in your software for what purpose. And in general: if you have not even gotten to the point proof of concept code, it will be very hard to interest anybody in joining your project rather than starting his own. -- David Kastrup ___ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
