The first goal. Probably not the definitive, I agree. I think it is a good, short, way to relase 1.0. Focus on BSD/Linux/Cups/XFree/OpenStep only can help to : - Finally have a release - Finish some classes - Finish some doc > By that I mean that if there are some obscure deprecated methods that > we don't have yet, I'm not sure it's worth implementing them/delay a > 1.0 just to claim "hey we're _fully_ OpenStep compliant !" -- it's not > like many people care about that (they care about OSX compatibility if > anything else). Of course, But it is not the case, and it will never be OSX ( current version ) compatible. You will never release GNUstep if you follow Apple. Having a 2.0 release with Cocoa ("10.2 compliance") or windows will take longer. I believe at the "Release early release often". > Same way, I don't think it's a good idea to orientate the 1.0 as > "Finally OpenStep-compliant", because as you say, the epidermic > reaction will be "yeah, good job guys, only 11 years to do it !". And ? who cares. It was hard work for the GNUstep developpers. Those guys are just stupid, don't listen to them. >It would be more interesting to say something along the line of "we're > OpenStep compliant, we have our own additions, plus we are x% > compatible with Panther/Tiger ...", etc. That not exclusiv. Having ref. doc saying what should work and what should not would be great. But not a "Panther compliant" release ( not for 1.0 ).
