I am the project manager or the WinMac project also hosted at sourceforge. I think you guys are doing a great job because we will need people like you when we have our OS working

Thanks man! Great job over there with the winmac story. I think that our projects are hand in hand, and world-domination is in our reach. If you have anyone with desire to work on the free interface tools, send them right over. I'd like to release x86 binaries too. I just fixed my cross-compiler. Is there anything that you would like to have right away?

Oh man, this is great! You guys are right on the track I've had my mind set on for ever and a day. I dream of an OS free from corporate restriction, capable of handling file formats from the proprietary companies and from software from the Open Source community, I think we know who they are, do I have to go there? But the fact that the system can natively handle BOTH linux & unix api's to start with, puts us just only almost half way there. The reason I say almost half way there is because I really don't think there is a GUI quite as easy to get acustomed to as the Mac, let alone Mac has the most attractive in my opinion. Desktop themes can come pretty close but they aren't completely there cosmetically nor are as effecient as the current OS X utilizing the GPU. That's something that should have been a LONG time ago. I would really like to see WinMac on top of GNU-Darwin. I have worked with the Liquid theme on top of KDE 3.x on FreeBSD and was very impressed with it for what it is. But when I stumbled onto WinMac, I was disspointed that you had to run windows. But then thought, maybe I could get these two together, you guys are a few steps in front of me. I would like to dedicate all my time to this to make it a reality, I'm the type of person that wanted something yesterday and today is not fast enough :), I usually pull 20 - 30 hour days [depends on how involved I am in what I'm doing in one sitting] just working well, this is kinda what I was aiming at but you guys have done most of the hard stuff. Now that I've found this, I would like to test anything you've got that needs input. Anything to help speed up GNU-Darwin's evolution! I can be reached @ root@mitchel-it.net Thnx for ur time! Happy Hacking!

Thanks for all your great interest and enthusiasm. You might like to
read our recent communication with John Gilmore, which discusses
GNU-Darwin in relation to other x86 distros and Apple.
As for testing, use GNU-Darwin for what is useful to you. If there is
anything you would like to develop, then go for it. Here are the
current best info links for the Distro.
