ET is in development. The main development actually happens on CoreObject; It is a big framework and ET “key” feature that needs to be finished.
I’m developing a Calendar app, with a GUI very similar to the Apple Calendar. It will be interfaced to CoreObject to store events and eventually share them with friends using CO through XMPP. For the first release, is not planned to be .ics (libical) compatible, this is planned for a next release. I use ET as main DE on my debian wheezy linux system installed on a MacBook, however this doesn’t mean that ET is ready. I done some tricks here and there to get it working, not hard to do but sure “nerdy”. What needs ET: 1) A window manager. It is present in the repos, it needs to be finished. The name is ProjectManager. 2) A file manager. 3) A new MenuServer, eventually compatible with the ubuntu protocol menu bar (the dbus stuff that provides menu entries in the menu bar like File, Edit and so on). 4) Apps 5) Contributors I opened a twitter account to show my progresses on ET and GNUstep. I use twitter just for that. https://twitter.com/slex20 <https://twitter.com/slex20> You can follow étoilé activity on openhub: https://www.openhub.net/p/etoile <https://www.openhub.net/p/etoile> What I’m cooking on my side: 1) Finishing the Calendar app that absolutely I need on ET. 2) I have to retail a good amount of time to finish the MUC implementation on XMPPKit. 3) I ported EtoileXML on ARC, it is on github in a branch, I need feedbacks before the merge with the master branch. 4) I need a port of CodeEditor on OS X to finish the work on SourceCodeKit res. filtering (this is finished and it works) and interfacing the feature to the views. It’s in a branch too. 5) In my free time I work on the implementation of a new and modern GNUstep theme, with a look and feel similar to OS X. The main goal of this little project is to stop people that are saying that GNUstep looks old so it is an ancient environment and it’s bad/useless/crappy/dead because it hasn’t “eye-candy” and can’t be modern. This is wrong, because what they mean for “eye-candy” is just a theme, and GNUstep is themable. Look on the étoilé site to see its themes that are a great look&feel. For others “kitchens”, the other developers will give infos.
