Next GNUstep GUI/Back release
First some background: I will be starting a new job in October and most likely wont have as much time for GNUstep from then on. In addition for the last two weeks of September, I will be on holidays without much internet access. The current week is the last, where I have plenty of time for GNUsteps coding. If we aren't able to motivate some new programmers for gui and back, progress will slow down for these modules. But since the last GNUstep release there have been quite some changes to these modules. The cairo backend is now almost usable and gui has been cleaned up and brought closer to MacOSX. This process isn't completed but the results should already be a huge improvement over previous GNUstep releases. What I would like to do now is fix some new introduced bugs (NSSplitView comes up strangely, the cursor bug has reappeared) and give the current code a good testing and after that, come up with a new GNUstep base, gui and back release. (A base release is needed for the error recovery header) Does this schedule, release by mid/end October, fit your? Attached you find my statistics on 10.4 compatibility of the GNUstep header files. One outstanding issue is the change to LGPL 3, here I still have an unfinished new version of xdnd that will need some more work. If nobody takes up this task (I could send my files), it wont make it into the next release. This means, at least back still needs to ship with LGPL 2.

Re: Next GNUstep GUI/Back release
I'm going to create a GPLv3 status page so that people know what to help with for that. Right now, I think we're pretty close.
