Re: [Simplygnustep-discuss] InterimDeveloperRelease-1 due for update?

[<ceh...@ma...>]

The source code that produces the ido installer image is being worked 
on right now.  The actual installer still needs to be made.  In short, 
this is gonna take while.  Feel free to checkout the source from cvs, 
just co the Prometheus module.  If you need help with that just ask.

Right now the system is built to use XFree86 and windowmkaer, but the 
eventual goal is to go to a new lightweight window manager system.  I 
have started on it, it is called nuVu.  Basically it uses SysV IPC and 
shared memory to draw to the linux video framebuffer.  Some help would 
be appreciated with that project if you'd like.

There is also, graphite, which aims to be an LGPL version of Carbon.  
Think of it as a c bridge to gnustep that happens to have the same api 
as Carbon.  I started on this a while back but lost the source code.  
Perhaps I will upload a skeleton to cvs to facilitate it being worked 
on.

Anyhow, feel free to help if you'd like!

Chad
