Well, I mostly lurk...but I do try to keep an eye on what's happening 
in a variety of forums that interest me (which includes the Omni and 
Apple Cocoa lists as well as GNUSTEP).

Well, as I'm sure you're aware, getting something to build vs. knowing 
it runs correctly can be worlds apart.  Before I claim to support 
GNUSTEP, I want to know that it actually works.  Just getting it to 
compile is a start, but it's not good enough for the level of quality I 
wish to have.  Of course, I'll probably at least have building under 
GNUSTEP working out of the gate, at least as far as it appears to work 
on an Apple machine, but it's about as far as I can go with the 
hardware I have right now.
