What do you say?Well, I think it would be nice, but I'm not sure we can bump up the number like that.. ? Regarding the article, I think we need: - a part about OpenStep, history, etc. - GNUstep's history (with emphasis on the recent progresses, obviously..) - Presentation of GNUstep possibilities While keeping things not too long. We can perhaps have a medium-length article hosted on gnustep.org, and a short sumary to submit to websites ? Sadly I doubt I'll have the time this evening to do much, but it could be good to reuse the marketing documents and some articles.Here is the booklet and the brochure (marketing): http://www.roard.com/gnustep/GNUstep-brochure.pdfhttp://www.roard.com/gnustep/Booklet.pdf And here is an article I wrote with fabien that presents GNUstep and that has a bit of history in it: http://www.roard.com/docs/lmf1.article/
Just a quick starter, I don't have much time, so... 10 the magic number ===================Today the OpenStep API celebrates it's 10th anniversary. What started out as a joint adventure of NeXT and SUN to define an application development standard that would run on all machines, making a write once compile everywhere paradigma a reality, is still a vivid and active community of GNUstep, old NeXT and Apple lovers.
The magic 10 appears in Apple's OS X and in GNUsteps current 1.10.x release numbers. Currently people are able to develop their programs on Mac OS, Linux, the BSDs, Solaris, and with a couple of hurdles even on Windows. Slowly but steadily a solid and well defined standard is reaching out to the world of software development.
Program your applications in a couple of hours instead of days, weeks or never. Use the advanced API of a development framework that didn't need any modification for 10 years, because it rocks, is stable and just works.
