I want to inform all of you, that Linux International's SDK project is back
in business. It has been sleeping due to the lack of volunteers, also there
has been a most active discussion on the mailing list some time ago.
Now there is at least ONE volunteer to work with me on that project.

Originally the goal was to provide a full-fledged development environment,
including interface builders and CASE tools. That has been downgraded to
the following agenda:

* Development of an Integrated Development Environment (aka IDE) similiar to
  that of the Borland or Watcom Compileres under Windows. It will eventually
  include the following frontends (but due to extensibility it might become
  even more ...):
  - X11-based Editor
  - GNU C/C++/Objective-C compilers
  - GNU Pascal compiler
  - F2C Fortran-77 translator
  - CVS version controlling system
  - GNU gdb debugger
  - GNU gprof profiler
  - X11-based information browsers (man, info and html format)
  - X11 GUI design tool
  - DejaGNU program testing system
  - GNATS problem tracking system 
  - Linux-specific tools (like dll-tools)

* Tk/Tcl will be used for the actual development, but might be replace if
  necessary. (This is partly because many of the frontends already exist in
  tk/tcl ...)

* Provide a complete documentation of the Linux environment. Fortunately we
  can take advantage of the Linux Documentation Project and the other already
  existing documentation.

If you want to support this project, please drop me a mail at:
