How is this project related to the GNUstep community and to other notorious efforts to build a Desktop on this

[pcardona34]

Hello,

My goal is to get a working efficient Desktop related to the OPENSTEP ergonomy and also ported on an arm64 arch like a pi400: a kind of 'PiSTEP initiative' to make the NeXTstep dream more affordable.

I know the GNUstep community first goal is not to bring us a Desktop, although it brings us many efficient components to do it.

1. I found already many efforts tending to achieve this Desktop goal on top of the GNUstep community tools and apps:
   a) Under GNU/Linux:

• NEXTSPACE by Sergii Stoian (Trunkmaster): https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace with a new Workspace and a rewriting of subsequent WM parts (from WindowMaker).
• GS-Desktop by Ondrej Florian (Onflapp): https://github.com/onflapp/gs-desktop which is more classic in the way to glue existing components like GWorkspace, WindowMaker and a great effort to make tools and services to bring a rich desktop experience.
• GNUstep Live CD by Alex Myczko: http://www.aiei.ch/gnustep/ is in the same way as the above.
  b) Under BSD:
• DUBstep: https://github.com/ds-repos/ds-base

2. And also projects that tends to ape the Apple MacOS:

• Etoilé: http://etoileos.com/ which has not been updated from year 2014.
• LIVEstep: https://github.com/probonopd/LIVEstep which has abandoned the GNUstep way to choose QT and is now Hello.System project.
• RavynOS: https://ravynos.com/ which is the more recent one on this way.

3. Also new projects about rewriting WindoMaker to the Wayland ecosystem...

• owl: https://github.com/owl-compositor/owl
• Wlmaker: https://github.com/phkaeser/wlmaker

And so I am guessing what is the matter with this new one 'AgoraDesktop' and how it is related to already GNUstep community users and developers to bring up an OPENSTEP like Desktop.
