Up until now, the GNU Objective-C discussion has been carried out on
the mailing list gnu-objc@prep.ai.mit.edu.  The problem is, there's
been more talk than coding, and now this must change.  GNU has an
embryonic run-time library which needs to be fleshed out.

Richard Stallman believes it is too early to start a gnu-objc
newsgroup.  So I wonder if this group, comp.lang.objective-c, would
tolerate general discussion of GNU Objective-C.

A related idea is that if I spend less time administering a discussion
list like gnu-objc, perhaps handing the list at `prep' over to someone
else, then I can spend more time on active development.  If anyone
would like to take over list administration, please contact me via
gsk@marble.com, or Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.

Speaking as a 'reader', not a 'writer' to this group, I'd have to say
PLEASE do post gnu stuff here.  I've been tantalized by the discussion
of obj-c, but we don't have a compiler here that handles it.

Although we have gcc-1.37.1 and gcc2.2.2, when I try to compile the sample
program from the FAQ, it dies because it cannot locate objc/Object.h.  I've heard
that the present gnuC doesn't have proper runtime libraries, so I wonder whether
this is the problem, or is it just that our gcc isn't installed properly?  To put
it simply, might a presently-available version of gcc be able to compile the
program called 'sample' from the FAQ stored on music.sie.arizona.edu?  If so,
I'd be interested in trying it out.

Since not much seems to happen here, I for one would find this a
welcome thing. Post away.

Also as a reader, I would very much like to hear about GNU Objective-C
development here (or on another bboard). I no longer have access to NeXT
machines and would rather like to do my recreational programming in ObjC.
