The fact that Adam asked what was needed and wanted, was not a clever 
question on the discuss-gnustep list, we all know what a mess we make of 
this list :)

On the otherhand it was a very valid question, now that GNUstep gui/back 
are nearing their 1.0.0 version number.

If we need a council or whatever is way beyond the scope of Adams 
question I guess. The pitty of this entire thread imho is the bashing of 
eachothers ideas without constructive input to Adam.

If the project is just an OpenStep API on as much platforms as possible, 
 which is/was the current focus and thanks to Adam, Richard, Nicola, 
Fred  and a lot of others that mission is almost completed for the POSIX 
like systems.

It might be a wise idea to stick to that mission and start working on 
MacOSX, Windows, even OS/2 (oeps another flamewar coming along)...

And I know I am part of the problem of this thread, since I suggested 
more with regards to Gorm, ProjectCenter etc.

Let's turn this thread into something positive can we?
Let's ask Adam and his team of core developers what they think should be 
the future of the project. And I know for sure another bashing will 
start. Since this list seems to be so good at complaining, 
misrepresenting, and not being constructive... thanks!

How about trying to comment only positive on suggestions from now on for 
atleast 2 weeks. No negative comments, only summoning up what you like 
about someones ideas. Don't tell what you don't like. Come with the good 
point and ONLY the good points.

Would be nice for a change.

Thanks,


Dennis
