Hi Joseph and others,
on Saturday the 8th of March 2025 our monthly GNUstep meeting takes place at 17:30 GMT as an online video call under this address: https://meet.jit.si/TheatricalNecessitiesFormulateNotably You could join the Meeting, usually Riccardo is there too and we then can discuss this topic in more detail. All the others in this thread or in discuss-gnustep are invited to join too of course.
