That is really simple and wont help with these FOSS developers, they
aren't interested in Windows. The people who are wont be there.

The cairo backend isn't that new any more. There isn't much progress to
show and anyway I am still not planning to attend FOSDEM, but may change
my mind if interesting stuff is happening there.

That would be great, but is Riccardo attending?

I have plenty of ideas for that. Maybe I should write a separate mail on
that topic.

> 5. Is there a nice Desktop? (Etoile - Quentin)
As far as I know that current release of Etoile isn't that well adjusted
to the recent GNUstep release. Maybe we should wait for the next release
where we plan to get things closer together again.

Here you counting skills left you :-)

I never looked at the iPhone SDK, but our compatibility to Cocoa has
improved a lot over the last year.
