(Hi there, I am quite new here, I am sorry for interfering here, I wanted to.)
Is that really necessary? I do not know how much GNUstep is “libre”. But usually, I would tend to stay out of big company platforms (f.e. Amazon) Making an exception only on some (like GitHub). Theoretically (but that is a very personal opinion), to me the best platform would be a self hosted one. Relying on other(s) services the least possible. PS: To me, these are tough choices. Eventually, I think the only thing GNUstep may need is just an aesthetic restyling. I have something more to say, But I think I am just going to copy-paste that to the IRC channel If you want to hear them. > Il giorno 19 gen 2021, alle ore 11:35, Gregory Casamento > <greg.casame...@gmail.com> ha scritto: > > Nikolaus, > > On Tue, Jan 19, 2021 at 2:18 AM H.
