Once again, that's not true, at least for me.

That's not true, at least for me.

I'd only like we (all people which want to) discuss about how to cooperate, 
where to put things,
dependencies, licencies problem (if any), maintainers questions, etc... There's 
a 2 threads 
about part of this: "CVS hosting issues  (was: Re: Frameworks integration)" and 
"Frameworks integration".

Another point, as we've started to talk about changes in some part GNUstep 
project (not only WO part
but also xml part,...), AFAIK, Richard is in hollidays for few days and as he 
is one of the main 
maintainers of GNUstep project, I think we can wait few days, until he's back, 
to have its opinion 
about all this. Your proposition is only 7 days old and I don't think all 
GNUstep contributors have 
given their opinion.  Iknow you've developped a lot of things which are 
interesting but I think 
we can save time if we think a little about all this before doing things. Few 
days is nothing on 
a ten years old project, IMHO.

About "keeping to your codebase  whatever?": personnaly, one think I don't want 
is to invest time 
studying SOPE or starting a merge and after that, more or less quickly, find 
that there's a big
problem  (organisation, license,  project orientation, maintainer choices or 
god knows what). 
You may say it is LGPL projects  so one can fork if he doesn't agree on 
something but, 
_in this kind of situation_, I think I'd prefer to keep on  working like 
before, just to avoid 
spending time and because I know better gsxml, gsweb stuff than Slyrix stuff. 
I don't say this will append and I hope not, of course; I don't say there will 
be problems; I don't
say there will be a fork;I don't say I won't work to study SOPE or merge. I'm 
only carefull. 
There's nothing personnal against you, Helge, in  this: I also had questions, 
even if, for  
example, Adam or Richard (*) have suggested such changes.


Just me .02 cents. It's free projects and everyone is free here.

Manuel

(*) I often mention only Richard and/or Adam to avoid forgetting people in a 
partial list and offend
someone :-)
