Hi =E2=80=99Steppers! For the sake of diffability in GIT it would be great to have some = non-binary but text based .gorm serialization format. I know that .xibs exist in that role for .nibs, so why not do exactly = the same with .xorms for .gorms? Greg said once that he has .xib reading ready but .xib writing would be = much more difficult because we had to reverse engineer how to write = those. I now propose that we reuse the same basic format of xibs (XML with = certain keys) to write .xorms instead of .gorms with the only difference = that here GNUstep defines what belongs how into a .xorm. What do you think? kind regards, Lars P.S.: I have sent this proposal to discuss as well as to dev, since I = didn=E2=80=99t know which list would be more appropriate.
