(Hi there, I am quite new here, I am sorry for interfering here, I wanted to.)
Is that really necessary?
I do not know how much GNUstep is “libre”.
But usually, I would tend to stay out of big company platforms (f.e. Amazon)
Making an exception only on some (like GitHub).
Theoretically (but that is a very personal opinion), to me the best platform
would be a self hosted one. Relying on other(s) services the least possible.
PS:
To me, these are tough choices.
Eventually, I think the only thing GNUstep may need is just an aesthetic
restyling.
I have something more to say, But I think I am just going to copy-paste that to
the IRC channel
If you want to hear them.
