OK, Here, I hope I've made it painfully clear what our goals are (other parts of the mission statement removed for brevity):<p>Out target implementation for the core libraries is the OpenStep standard and its implementation as defined in OPENSTEP 4.2. Our goal is to maintain the implied behavior of the OpenStep specification as much as possible and document any deviations from this behavior, in order to make it easy to port an Application from OPENSTEP. Our second goalis to achieve compatibility with a reference Cocoa implementation (currentlyMacOSX 10.2) as needed to implement code which can be cross-compiled on Cocoa, execpt for documented differences which conflict with the overall goals of GNUstep (detailed below). We will consider changes and additions to our API under the following circumstances.</p>
[snip]Yes, so we are in "violent agreement" (tm) ;-) (Well, at least I'm violently agreeing with you.) I had lost focus in this discussion and should have consulted the the proposal before refering to the "Misson Statement" and changed my wording to "These points are the *core* aspects of the GNUstep Misson for me." My bad.
My suggestion would be to start posting ChangeLog entries (possibly including patches), so that people have it easier to follow what's going on. I've been doing that, but as no one joined in, I guess, I've been annoying people more than anything else. Maybe we should have a seperate patches-I like it, at least (for non-trivial patches).
Triviality is subjective :-) ... I'll try to make wise decisions, please nudge me, if I'm off.
Cheers, Dave
