No, no, no - and yes, yes, yes: I am interested in it and I did post an
article about that to the gnu.gnustep.discuss newsgroup. I saw at least
two other postings concerning it, there. The first time you posted
the suggestion (some months ago), the thread was even bigger.

True, there were a few replies to the original posting, and I made many modifications from those responses. However, since reposting a modified version, I've heard next to nothing, and there hasn't been any "official" response from anyone on the GNUstep Project. I certainly appreciated the modification of "Apps" to "Applications", don't get me wrong. However, there is much more to the proposal than just the names of the directories. It's about having a clearly defined, documented, and "standard" structure. I've tried my best to not be influenced by my need for LinuxSTEP integration, and paid close attention to how the proposal would work on other systems as well.

One of my biggest beefs with GNUstep (not the team, but the environment) is the lack of clear, concise, and GNUstep-specific documentation. It's all well and good to say "Look at Apple's docs", but this is not Cocoa. This is GNUstep.

Pardon my ranting. :) I'm under some pressure to get LinuxSTEP 0.2.5 released, and I want to tie up some loose ends before it is available. One of those loose ends is GNUstep integration (as the LinuxSTEP Package Manager is written using gnustep-base).

Did you 'receive' the postings?

Unfortunately, I cannot recall (or have in my saved mail) receiving your responses. :/ Would you be so kind as to repost them (either to the mailing list, or privately to me)? I would highly appreciate that.
