Re: GNUstep Kickstarter Project

Hey Gregory,

This is awesome, so far 314 backers and 20% funding.

There are some good suggestions in the comments section on making the rewards more attractive.

Regarding T-shirts, you were saying Kickstarter doesn't allow re-selling products. Not familiar with the Kickstarter policies, but could you order a custom batch of GS T-shirts? I did a quick search and it seems there are companies specifically for making crowdfuding reward t-shirts (e.g. https://teelaunch.com/) I also found some reviews of sticker printing companies… http://www.printaholic.com/our-reviews/stickers/

Someone asked "Does 10.6 compatibility include Core Data, Core Graphics, Core Image, Core Text?". It might be good if we could post how close we currently are to the 10.6 compatibility goal.  Do we have a class list somewhere?

You could post links to Ivan's GSOC blog or my Opal GSOC report to show some of the progress on Core Graphics.

The kickstarter campaign is making surprisingly good progress.   Even if it's not successfully funded, it has been exposed world-wide and it seems as though people are finally getting the idea that GNUstep is still alive.

Even if nothing else comes out of this, that is a positive.   People have gotten to see that we are alive and what we want to do.

Btw: an article in one of the most influential german IT/computer/tech news site, although not on their main page:

Hey guys, I've launched a kickstarter project in the hopes of getting some time to work exclusively on GNUstep in order to try to address some of the issues we have surrounding API completeness, documentation issues, etc..., here it is:
