GNUstep roadmap (was Re: [Suggestion] GNUstep-test for quality control)

[Philippe C . D . Robert]

Hi,

I think you are right and I should stop complaining, I do not even 
spend time to work on GNUstep, so I am merely qualified to do so. 
Besides I always was an advocate of the project, so I do not believe I 
am not ranting as you said. It's just that my my frustrations are due 
to the fact that although many talented programmers worked on this 
project for almost a decade it did not live up the (my?) expectations 
until now. And since I spent some time on GNUstep related stuff I allow 
myself to be a little frustrated... :-)

But to remain at least a little on-topic allow me to ask this question 
(as a simple user resp. programmer who needs to decide whether to use 
it or not): where will the GNUstep project be within 12 months (which 
will be more or less GUI 1.0)? What is the (realistic) roadmap for the 
GNUstep project anyway?

Thanks,

-Phil
