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?

20and%20Cocoa.png
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...
