evangilizing Mac developers

[Aurelien]

I was just wondering why you guys didn't take more advantage of the 
growing community of mac os x developers to have more apps developed for 
GNUstep.

What a waste of resources ! All those developers out there who use 
practically the same API's ! And the resulting software is locked !

I've read several messages on cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com from people who 
are questioning about the current state of GNUstep. I think it would be 
great to have an url at hand to throw them. Some page that could be 
named something like "Jump to GNUstep" ;-)

An article in last month Wired magazine is literaly burying Linux 
desktop efforts. The author says Linux simply isn't a desktop platform, 
so linux developers shouldn't even bother and instead should concentrate 
on more server-oriented initiatives. I personally think the current lack 
of solid desktop apps for linux is largely due to the scarce 
availability of good, well-known frameworks.

*step is becoming more and more a known platform and I think it's really 
sad that Linux doesn't get real benefits from this. GNUstep should also 
be FAR more easy to install...

I think this list should reward initiatives that foster better 
communication between Mac developers and GNUstep developers.

I also think that Mac developers could be reluctant to port their apps 
to GNUstep given its dull appearance (compared to Aqua, that is). 
Appropriate theme-ing can improve the appearance of GNUstep apps to some 
extend, and maybe a better default theme could make current screenshots 
more sexy.
