Hi everyone,


I think, GNUstep needs lower hurdles for entering our ecosystem and so I =
had the thought =E2=80=9EWhat if we distribute the GNUstep dev tools as =
AppImage?=E2=80=9C, e.g. bundling everything needed (basic GNUstep =
installation; compiler, linker, make; Gorm.app and ProjectCenter.app; =
some example code) into an AppImage like PikoPixel did, so that our App =
can be run everywhere AppImages are supported.

What do you think about the idea, would it help our cause?

What would be the prerequisites for such an attempt?

How much work would it be?


kind regards,

	Lars
