As with every community there are some shared interests and some common goals. The interest part is [1]GNUstep, the best Object Oriented development environment around, and the goal is world domination. For world domination we need software and documentation and that is what this site is about. Editorial 14 December 2001 The mailing-lists Adam Fedo announced that he will soon release a new version of gnustep-base and maybe gnustep-make in preparation for the release in January of gnustep-gui/xgps/etc And the big news his week was the donation from VMWare to the GNUstep projectof free VMWare Workstation 3.0 licenses. VMWare Inc. THANKS!!! Code changes Nicola Pero changed a lot of gnustep-make code. Most noteably we now have a library-combo.make that defines the runtime, foundation, and gui elements, that make up the library combination path. And the regenerated the documents associated with GNUstep. Fred Kiefer, Nicola Pero, Willem Rein Oudshoorn, and Adam Fedor all had their hand in gnustep-gui this week. Mostly bugfixes, some new methods and some updated documentation. Fred Kiefer reorganised code into new class XFontCacher, added some more help messages, handle some errors better and adde a filter for the font pattern. This can be set in the user defaults with the key GSFontMask. Fred Kiefer also added together with Adam Fedor support for other window managers. Now there is better support for EWMH and GNOME complient window managers. Applications No updates Documentation Dennis Leeuw updated the Defaults document with the one from the CVS source tree References 1. http://www.gnustep.org/
