[Gambas-user] Need Gambas3 Made Apps.

[John]

Hi and thanks for the reply,
Thankfully not to much will be needed in the way of apps for GambOS to get it out the door. It is intended to get the Gambas IDE into programmers hands with the least amount of frustration involved. No downloading the IDE or runtime, no compiling the IDE or runtime and no out of date dependencies to deal with.
So some simple apps like a calculator, text editor, terminal and apps to replace the default apps would be great. Maybe some small apps that programmers would like to use like an internet radio player or things like that. In the future I would like to see a first run setup wizard and an installer for the OS like what was found in Pardus before it died. 
As I am not a real programmer but a hobbyist, it is hard for me to say what a programmer will like to see and use in the OS. Please do not think less of me for this, it was never my intent to make this OS but to make an end user OS with the runtime only installed for home use so that users could run Gambas made apps with out all the frustration involved. I ran into this myself for many months. The members in our forum talked me into making GambOS and putting Orca on the back burner for now, can’t have an OS without apps.
One app I would like to see for the Orca Project is a way to take a snapshot of the installed OS and make a remaster of it. Many users on the internet are wanting to make their own OS for various reasons, medical, schools and hobby user groups. This would help build a foundation of Linux OS’s with the Gambas runtime preinstalled. Unfortunately Gambas is not a high priority for most of the big distros so we need to look out for our selves.
Another app I would like to see is a way to package programs that are not made with Gambas into .deb packages. One of the biggest needs for any OS is packaging of apps and making it as easy as possible for new and enthusiastic users to help out is key as I see it. Don’t ever ask users to help the distro grow and not give them the tools to do it.
So in the end, what would you as a programmer would like to see in an OS and what would your mother, wife, kids like to see in and OS?
Thanks for any help and support.
John
P.S. I do have one small pet project that deals with Conky if anyone would be interested in helping out with.
