Re: Funding GNUstep development

[Stefanos Kiakas]

Hello ,


One other thing you might want to look into. Talking
to IBM to release the Improv source code. Improv is
much better than Quantrix.

Does anybody know anyone who can make such a decision
at IBM/Lotus?

Subject: Funding GNUstep development

Hi

I know from Gregory Casamento and friends of him he could
write a text processing software like OpenWrite [1] within
one to three months, which'd require fixing bugs in GNUstep
and paying like $4000/month. 

They also could write some spreadsheet calculator like
Quantrix [2]. Really a pity that SUN.com doesn't release
anything from the Lighthouse Design Applications [4] they have.

The same could be done for the icon drawing [3].

What about asking the following foundation for funding of these
projects which would take GNUstep steps ahead by adding
killer software AND fixing stuff in the frameworks?
