Q: |
What, exactly, is it? |
A: |
Multi Term is a prototype of an advanced Terminal Emulation for
Mac OS X
(Cocoa)
and similar platforms.
|
|
Q: |
Okay, so what is the intention? |
A: |
The goal is to have a
free
and extendible Terminal Emulation
which provides a high quality - nice look and feel -
User Interface for everyday terminal work.
|
|
Q: |
But there already is an existing Terminal.app? |
A: |
True ... the existing
Terminal.app
is, ahh well ... nice,
but rather limited, and most important, because there
seems no source code available, out of my scope.
|
|
Q: |
Why not port/compile gnome/kde/x term? |
A: |
I probably could, but that's not the point.
As I mentioned before, one goal is to have a
native
Cocoa Mac OS X application.
|
|
Q: |
How can I contribute? |
A: |
I don't know, yet! Suprise me!
There are may areas which could benefit from some
help, if you are willing to lend a hand, please
have a look at the ToDo-List.
|
|
Q: |
Anything else I should know/do? |
A: |
Yes, as a matter of fact, I would appreciate some
feedback and/or additional ideas/requests for features
as well as bug reports and comments on design flaws.
(but don't forget, if you have bad news, try to tell them
in a good way ;)
