Has anyone at minimum started to fork the projects required to start experimenting? I am looking to move some of my monthly donations to a new projects and once I see a central GitHub repository form and some progress made, I would like to do that. I think more people would get involved if they saw the basics start to emerge.
Perhaps choose a title for the mission (SwiftStep or something), starting the GitHub, choosing an initial strategy to attempt would go a long way to establishing seriousness.
I see that Swift and GNUStep’s libobjc2 would need forking. And perhaps choosing an initial distribution to test it on that already uses GNUStep as the main GUI like gs-desktop (or my favorite nextspace) or eventually and probably the goal Gershwin which is getting a lot of attention right now. These would all be good testing environments
