I like the idea, it would be quite interesting, and developers blogs
are quite interesting for someone evaluating the capabilities and
future path of the project.

This is kinda offtopic but any idea how I would go about starting a
native mac OSX port would be greatly appreciated (I'm still very new
too developing, and don't know much except for some basic C++ and
C...) I'm not sure how to sort of just replace all the gtk widgets
with cocoa ones. At the moment I use adobe illustrator for web
graphics, but I reckon inkscape is far more capable (and has a nicer
interface) and I guess im also a kinda mac zealot who adores liinux
and opensource.
