This is another important point that needs addressing by leadership.  
The shared ecosystem is something GNUstep *should* be taking advantage 
of more, especially in the context of crowd funding.  You have to do 
things that get your name in front of more people.  Isolate and promote 
frameworks that would be of use to Mac/iOS developers even on Apple's 
platform.  Hell, put some things in the App Store if you can!

I'm just amazed that none of these sorts of things are being discussed 
in any fashion.  Even if the answer ends up as "No, we won't do that" it 
can lead to something that can be put on the web site as a coherent 
statement of why GNUstep is going in a particular direction.
