Hey, I think this sounds like a good idea too. Maybe we should check with Google first, though. I think a joint application for Etoile+GNUstep is a bit different than the aggregate projects they have accepted before (such as Gnome and KDE) - we're not a single organization, so they may or may not like us doing a joint application. (I searched the FAQ and SoC google group, and didn't see any questions about similar arrangements before.)
I would be happy to post a question on the SoC google group for us, it that sounds like a sensible idea. -Eric On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 2:39 AM, Riccardo Mottola <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > David Chisnall wrote: >> >> >> Maybe we could make a joint application for GNUstep, Étoilé, and >> opengroupware.org?
