[Gvsig_english] mac

[Benjamin Ducke]

No worries, I am sure a version of gvSIG 1.9 on the Mac will
be achievable. It is really just a matter of dedicating
resources to it. Personally, I don't have access to a Mac OS X
machine (let alone a current 10.6 OS). Unfortunately, Apple
insists on bundling the OS exclusively with their own hardware,
so unless some anti-monopoly court case will be won against
this practice, a developer will need physical access to actual
Mac hardware. How about the Mac community here sponsors a
gvSIG developer for the Mac OS conversion by collection money
and buying him/here a little Mac Mini (light-weight and easy
to ship). If everybody interested in this makes a contribution,
the costs should be low for all involved. Especially if the
hardware can be bought for $ in the US. And I am sure some
gvSIG developer will be willing to put in some hours after
work for a shiny new Mac Mini ;)

Hi, sorry.  I just whant to said that my remark wasn't a critic of the  
developpers.

Being a mac user, looking for and alternative to the frustrating  
arcmap on win, I had hope gv_sig was the one.  I love it, when I test  
the first version.  Most of the lack, like symbologie is address in  
version 1,9-2,0 from comments in this post and all the feature and  
structure then was just the best to work for and arcview, arcmap.

I just have a big deception.  I will continue to give the word to  
windows gis user, even if I can't give it a try.
