No-one is going to volunteer to help a bunch of sourpusses who just flame them in threads with subject lines that marketers probably won't read. The people marketing free software projects that I have had the pleasure of working with usually have too little time, rather than lacking any skill.
Sorry, I did not want to demotivate any of the current helpers, this was not my intention at all (and in fact I did not phrase it that way, but maybe my English is too bad for such subtleties).
Personally, I'd be happy if developers wrote a little more about what they finished, and some people volunteered to collect, summarise and upload it to the web. Once upon a time, there were weekly summaries of developments. Can we start them again?
This would be excellent, indeed.
First, I think we need two lists of people: 1. who are the active developers and which will write a blog for us? 2. who is willing to help blog the work of 1 non-blogging developer? Please reply...
What GNUstep is IMHO lacking is GNUstep related stories, reports or reviews published in non-GNUstep related forums and websites. I think that only a few people are aware of the current state of the project because almost nobody talks or writes about it!
