I have attached the current source code of this project at https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?func=detailitem&item_id=4159#attached

I have taken care to add copyright and license notices to each source file.

Thanks for telling me if I did anything wrong.

Regards

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.


Please either include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source code or attach the source code to this project application itself (https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?func=detailitem&item_id=4159).  The description you gave when registering will not be read by the general public.  If you are still concerned with privacy, however, you can forward the code to me by email.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to catch potential legal issues early.

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every file of source code.  This is explained in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help catch potential omissions such as these.

Description:
------------
  This project aims at developing a GNUstep-based window manager.

At present, most similar projects are defunct and it seems there is still a need for a window manager that would integrate seamlessly with GNUstep applications. It is generally considered that such a window manager should itself be based on GNUstep and an originality of this project is that it tries to use the GNUstep API as much as possible and use straight XLib programming only when this can not be avoided (mainly inside wrapper classes).

There are three main goals for this project :

- for the current developer : to gain confidence in languages and technologies (Objective-C, GNUstep, X-Window) in the context of a big project.

- to contribute to the initiatives towards a GNUstep desktop environment.

- for educational purposes : to provide a clean, well-documented application that could be a good illustration of how a window manager works. It sould also illustrate good practices of object-oriented development using Objective-C and GNUstep.

At present, the source code for the existing software pieces is not published on the internet (in fact, I am registering this project to savannah in order to make the source code freely available).
As a result, no URL can be given to access it.

The source code is written in Objective-C and can be compiled using GCC.
It depends only on the GNUstep framework.



Other Software Required:

  GNUstep
XLib
