Salve. GNUstep is going on, towards a highly standardized framework, useful to developing or porting existing C - C** - ObjectiveC applications on a FreeBSD base, which is actually the most stable and orthodox unix ever. Moreover, the project of aiming to evaluate portings and paid projects, could make HawkingOS a point of reference for technicians looking fot fast new development on WORKSTATION or SERVER products. The flexibility would be total, permitting a visual configuration of both SERVER functions and WORKSTATION ones. I have designed in my mind a sort of roadmap. I insist on GNUstep, because it is independent from unnecessary desktop environmentes or complicate widget libraries, even if actual desktop environments are still much more rich of precompiled stuff. In fact, they urpgrade and modify too much, causing the lack of a standard environment dedicated to serious development of professional apps. The base of GNUstep is much more logical, if dedicated to FreeBSD instead to the infinite Linux variants, therefore the work could be managed in a FreeBSD-like hierarchical way. The important results may be seen relatively fast, when on Linux they could instead fall into a labyrinth of endless modifications. This could be a serious base to grow up step-by-step the ne new unix-step-system, interesting startpoint for new users of any kind. As for myself, I would gladly send contributions to the GNUstep community, in order to request development for porting or designing specific apps I need. As example, I'll need drivers with GUI for AARDWARK's insulated audio high-end boards, Aark24 and DirectPro24/96. It is absurd such engineered boards run only on Windoze-trash. There are also high-end video adapters for advanced CAD, waiting for their drivers and GUI frontends. What's better than offering a speed-standard-GUI, GNUstep-based for them? Customizazion of GNUstep look should be grow up only when a strong base will be already distributable. I'm looking for enthusiasts and perfectionists of any skill, in order to design the base project for a FreeBSD-based 'SUPERstep' packed systems, working out-of -the-box. The starting point will be based on volounteers, with the addition of a service for customers interested in a specific custom subproject, which should require a billing service. The licenses' management would require an expert dedicated to it. PLEASE, do not start an endless discussions. I'm only looking for people interested in technology, architecture, development, commerce, advertising. 'Advocacy' is an important circle for discussions about strategic projects. With my best regards VITTORI |
