Great!  I just borrowed a couple of books off of a buddy:


"The NeXT Book" and "NeXTSTEP Programming, Step One: Object-Oriented
Applications"

Both are old, but they clearly illustrate how to use and develop with NeXTSTEP.

For experimentation purposes, I am going to try installing OpenStep under VMWare
on Linux.  If that works fine, I will be able to start seeing where I can make
some sort of a contribution.

Hmmm, I have written a couple of articles for Linux Journal, with some more in
the works.  It might be nice to shine a light on GnuStep, especially since it is
very topical now that it is the API of the the (arguably) soon to be most widely
distributed version of Unix on the desktop.

Thanks for the encouragement!
