Etoile Project Releases Mac-Like Environment

pschmied writes "Today the Étoilé Project released v0.2 of its Desktop Environment. Not only does Étoilé share user interface similarities with Mac OS X, Étoilé enjoys some source-level compatibility with Mac OS X as well. Many here undoubtedly remember NeXT, the revolutionary computer / development environment that gave rise to the first Web browser and later became the foundation of Mac OS X. Étoilé uses the FSF's own implementation of the NeXT development environment, GNUstep, making this a close technological relative of OS X. Screenshots and a source tarball are available."

Editors? by pete-classic · 2007-07-29 12:32 · Score: 1, Troll

Once again, the "editors" have failed us. The linked news item doesn't mention Mac anywhere. Neither does the project "about" page. And the screenshots don't look particularly like a Mac. (The title bar icons are on the opposite side from MacOS!)

So, the submitter is out of phase with our collective reality, and the "editor" went ahead and posted it to the front page :(
