Jeff Teunissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Also, LGPL v2.1 or later (for shared libraries) Package: The Backbone Project System name: backbone Type: non-GNU Description: The Backbone Project is being created by a set of developers of GNUstep and GNUstep-based applications, to design and build a complete "desktop" system based on the GNUstep libraries and with an updated NeXTish look and feel. Among the goals are: * Building a library or set of libraries to facilitate Objective-C/GNUstep-based applications acting as an integrated system * Creating integrated services to assist users with making applications work together. * Completing and using an integrated hypertext help system for all applications (this is mostly completed) * Creating, completing and/or "filling out" a set of simple, easy, standard applications, among them a text editor * Creating and/or adapting a Workspace application, which is something between a file manager and a graphical shell application. * Creating a "session manager" a la gnome-session, to handle window manager and the Workspace application (for X11-based systems). * Completing a Preferences application for setting options for the desktop and the underlying OS. * Integrating a good multi-window Terminal application for command-line and Services use. We intend to write a good deal of new code, but some of the basis for the project is located at: Software originally written by one or more project members -- http://prefsapp.sf.net/ http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/terminal/ http://www.roard.com/helpviewer/ Software to be gleaned from -- http://www.gnustep.it/ http://www.d2dc.net/~deek/TextEdit.tar.gz http://www.gnustep.it/enrico/gworkspace/ Other Software Required: GNUstep-make, GNUstep-base, GNUstep-gui, GNUstep-back Other Comments: _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
