Hi,

I am moving this to gnustep-dev...

Hi,
I understand that both the Cocoa API and GNUstep inherit from the NeXTSTEP
API, having read the documentation at gnustep.org, I notice that
it is already possible to cross-compile basic applications between Cocoa and GNUstep, so I was wondering if it is one of project goals to eventually
have full cocoa compatibility.

You can read here about our mission

http://www.gnustep.org/information/mission.html

Cocoa compatibility is a goal, but one that is almost impossible to fully achieve.


To what exact point it is a goal? What is on "the radar" and what is not?

What are the definitions of sets depicted in the following diagram?

Clear definition would help.

For example, I am now developing "on the real thing", but I would like to keep GNUstep compatibility. To achieve this, I need a clear list of what I can use and what I can not use from Cocoa. That is, I need to know, what is planned for gnustep (does not have to be fully implemented at this time) and what is not going to be in gnustep in any way.

p.s.: Btw. why is old OpenStep compatibility so important? Is not new OpenStep what we define now by defining API that is common for GNUstep and Cocoa?? p.p.s: from the mission statement: "We won't remove things, even if they have been removed by Apple." why not, regardless of apple? Death is so natural to life...
