Hmm... this list does capture a lot.  Suppose to get started there was a survey 
targeted at (potential) Users in which people ranked (1) the above list in 
terms of which are most important to them for GNUstep; and also ranked (2) what 
they perceive as the major impediments to using GNUstep in that way (e.g., 
bugs; user docs; website; app availability; missing tools; look and feel; 
up-to-date distribution; not enough activity on irc; etc.)

At the very least, this could be interesting information... but it could help 
guide and plan.

Maybe a third question of such a survey (for Users that are also Developers) 
could ask people to rank which of the impediments they felt they could see 
themselves likely/capable to work on within the next e.g., 12 months...
