Thanks! It's going good but I have been very busy lately. Since I don't get a=20= lot of time infront of my computer to do actual code, I spend a lot of=20= time thinking through how I am gonna approach various problems. Right=20= now I am focusing on NuVu, my proposed replacement for X11 for this=20 system. When I do get on the computer, I spend quite a bit of time simply=20 making sure the build system works correctly and fixing it! If you would like to help there are plenty TODOS, they can be separate=20= projects too, so you can do it on your own without worrying about=20 directly accessing the SGSTEP/Prometheus source codes: NuVu: Lightweight window manager written in c++. both a server app=20 and a client lib components to this. client lib is written in plain c. Graphite: LGPLd Carbon. Takes a different apporach than apple carbon=20= because it directly uses gnustep as a base. (Think objective-c to c=20 bridge that just happens to have the Carbon API) Installer.app: This is a big one, and it will be needed very soon. =20 This one should not be too difficult, basically a simple tabbed=20 interface (with hidden tabs). You can focus on just the interface and=20= I will go in later and fill in the actual package install code (it is=20 in flux) later. help?

Perhaps some of the work of the FreeBSD libh project would be helpful here. I've found the existing FreeBSD installation and software packaging system to work quite well. Even if not directly based on it, the libh project may be able to contribute some good ideas that could be used in the SGS/Prometheus installation/package management software system. http://www.freebsd.org/projects/libh.html http://rtp1.slowblink.com/~libh/ Josh Rendlesham -- Josh Rendlesham ren...@fa... http://www.rendlesham.tk -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own |

I'm only begining to learn Obj-C, but I was wondering what is involved in creating the interface for the installer. I assume GORM would be used. What is needed for the gui? I'm willing to take a shot at it. Justin __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Oh, hmm. Do you have a Macintosh with OS X? If you do, you can pick up one of the many books available on making cocoa guis and learn it very quickly. you can also use the book and try to follow along using ProjectCenter and GORM, they are close enough to the Apple versions that you can follow along pretty well.
