the goal I stated above. GNUstep is an crossplatform development environment and API only. It is not a desktop, nor is it going to be an OS clone.

I'd say clean up www.gnustep.org then, as it (still) says: "GNUstep is ... ...a desktop". You can read that in the main introduction:

http://www.gnustep.org/information/aboutGNUstep.html

;-)

Anyway, please would you explain why you think that programmers should/will use GNUstep as their primary API for GUI applications if there is no "native" environment for GNUstep apps? Do you really believe GNUstep GUI apps will - one day (...) - be perfectly integrated into Windows, X11 and maybe OS X so that the users by then won't able to tell the difference between a GNUstep GUI app and an application written using the native technologies of their platform/ desktop environment?

I hope you have a good plan here, because not even NeXT succeeded in this respect, nor Trolltech (with Qt) or other similar projects. But if GNUstep won't provide this level of integration, why should anybody use gnustep-gui then? I'm really curious how you see this as new chief maintainer of GNUstep and also Gorm.

cheers,

-Phil
