Would it be possible to produce a GnuStep-based desktop/distribution with a set
of apps (as per my previous mails, and others'), very small, but all robust and
well-built, and co-operating between themselves as API-based interchangeable
components (e.g. Mail.app and AddressBook.app with AddressBook being used by
Mail only via a published API with users being able to replace it) for
Raspberry PI --- much in the way NeXT's MO was your "world" here the SD card
would be.
One could build an SD-card image, and charge a $1 or $5 to generate a
downloadable image configured to work with a given Mac address, or provide the
SD image with limited functionality (say, everything but network connectivity)
for free but charge $1 for a Mac-locked password to network enable it.
GnuStep could position itself as an educational system, a kind of "Pascal"
versus Mac OS X's "C": no industrial-strength bleeding edge bells and whistles
and experimental buggy, poorly thought out stuff, just well-thought-out
orthogonal, mission critical, "just works" frameworks and apps.
The $1-$5 per seat could generate enough income to pay for an intern to package
SD card distribution updates.
