Re: Comments on the website from people on twitter...

[Lars Sonchocky-Helldorf]

"GNUstep is abandoned" seems to be a common misconception. I read this today 
here: 
http://www.golem.de/news/darling-mac-os-x-anwendungen-unter-linux-1308-100858.html

The author of that piece (which is mostly a translation of 
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/08/os-x-apps-run-on-linux-with-wine-like-emulator-for-mac-software/
 ) added only this bit of "information": "Allerdings wird GNUStep kaum noch 
aktiv gepflegt." which translates to: "however, nowadays GNUstep is barely 
maintained". I wrote a mail to the author but didn't get a response up to now.

We definitely need to do something about our public reception.


cheers,

        Lars
