I think we should separated base/make/back.
back on MS-Window is not for 1.0.
base/make is probably ok ?

I agree.
I think an OpenStep classes are enough if you want to release at
the first quarter of 2006.
I started to write/improve documentation for OpenStep Gui classes/method
and there is a lot of work to do ( doc / some fixes )

I agree.
We should also add a "1.0" Status into Tasks / bugs at savannah.

What about documentation requirement ?
I think it a must to attracked developpers.
