This project is now at:
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/
From what I can see it is not quite ready to be used for application
development, it is a very exciting project that has an active mailing list
and lots of commits to its cvs tree. If you have experience with Delphi
Pascal and/or GTK drop by and see if you can help out. I have a feeling that
when this project has finished cooking it will change the way application
codeing is done on Linux for a lot of developers. C++ programers who
have convertedto Delphi, like myself, will know what I am talking about.
