I was just wondering why you guys didn't take more advantage of the
growing community of mac os x developers to have more apps developed
for GNUstep.
What a waste of resources ! All those developers out there who use
practically the same API's ! And the resulting software is locked !
I've read several messages on cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com from people
who are questioning about the current state of GNUstep. I think it
would be great to have an url at hand to throw them. Some page that
could be named something like "Jump to GNUstep" ;-)
An article in last month Wired magazine is literaly burying Linux
desktop efforts. The author says Linux simply isn't a desktop
platform, so linux developers shouldn't even bother and instead should
concentrate on more server-oriented initiatives. I personally think
the current lack of solid desktop apps for linux is largely due to the
scarce availability of good, well-known frameworks.
*step is becoming more and more a known platform and I think it's
really sad that Linux doesn't get real benefits from this. GNUstep
should also be FAR more easy to install...
I think this list should reward initiatives that foster better
communication between Mac developers and GNUstep developers.
I also think that Mac developers could be reluctant to port their apps
to GNUstep given its dull appearance (compared to Aqua, that is).
Appropriate theme-ing can improve the appearance of GNUstep apps to
some extend, and maybe a better default theme could make current
screenshots more sexy.
