Well, for the advertisement. What would you say, _why_ is GNUstep
good for that? :-)
Eg Ruby tries to get into that market by allowing the user to
contruct flashy web 2.0 apps in a few minutes (and they do not
seem to succeed). Do we have a similiar unique feature which could
drive enterprise people to try GNUstep?
These people are not exactly waiting for yet another cross-platform
framework. IMO the only chance for GNUstep to get some wider
adoption is to focus on the desktop paradigm for X11 based Unices.
But then again, we had this discussion for a very long time...
Hm, the response is slightly out of context, no? :-) Please don't
turn it into the discussion "we had a for a very long time", we all
know that :-) The initial point was an agreement that as a desktop we
have nothing to advertise successfully _right now_ and the question
what we _could_ advertise w/o disappointing people.
Nicola correctly said that the best thing about GNUstep is the
Foundation library. Though I have a few issues (eg bad out-of-the-box
FHS support) it can certainly be considered finished.
Now the question is whether we can somehow advertise this fact?
As we all inofficially know the few places where GNUstep is in fact
successful are a few large scale GNUstep based enterprise
applications. The bad thing is that you are not usually allowed to
talk about them :-)
Well and the other issue is that most usually exist for legacy
reasons, not because it would be the environment of choice nowadays.
So the question is whether gstep-base could be interesting for people
and why. Can we put that into an ad which triggers someone?
