Re: Cocotron

[Gregory John Casamento]

Helge,

I believe that you understand perfectly what I was saying. :)

Etoile is a desktop project which uses GNUstep (see 
http://www.etoile-project.org/etoile/mediawiki/index.php?title=EtoileWiki:About),
 not a reimplementation of any part of Cocoa.   So, I don't think Etoile even 
remotely, by the most wild stretch of the imagination possible, fits into the 
same category as the other things I mentioned.

The projects libFoundation, Cocotron and AJRFoundation are re-implementations 
of Foundation/AppKit.   There is no reason, aside from obstinance or ego which 
should cause so many projects with similar or identical goals to develop things 
in parallel.  It is, purely and simply, an egregious waste of time and effort.  
 Well understood, but not reasonable at all.

Later, G.

I'm not entirely sure I understand this comment (BTW you can add  
Etoile) because the motivations are AFAIK very well understood and  
perfectly reasonable?

Greets,
