Hi Christoph. Some hints about your draft application: > > Where is your open source technology project being used (describe > > all user bases)? > > GNU Autoconf and GNU Automake are part of the GNU Autotools, also known > as the GNU Build System. The help making source code packages portable > to many Unix-like systems. They are used by GNU GCC, LibreOffice, and > OpenJDK. "used by" with only 3 project names might create the assumption, that only 3 projects use autotools. I suggest: "used by lots of Projects. Some of the well known ones:" and add wine to the list. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/ Used my many Programs to be able to run on Linux (or MacOSX) and the base of other projects (Crossover / SteamOS / Proton) What about mentioning bash? What about mentioning glibc? What about mentioning ncurses? They are low level requirements for lots of unix installations. > > Why do you consider your open source technology project to be > > relevant and critical? > > Many projects still rely on Autoconf and Automake as crucial part of > their build system. Moving to alternatives is challenging. Without a "still rely" can make the asumption, that they want to replace Autotools I suggest to remove "still" For all contributions, they have to be checked, commented and later committed by the few busy people with commit rights. We need a list of "todo projects", similar to what is available for projects, who apply for Google Summer of Code. -- Regards ... Detlef
