what is GNUstep? I think that actually our SVN repositories are actually 
clearer than the websites

we have:
1) "core": Founcation+AppKit
2) developer apps
3) user apps
4) additional libraries
5) themes

outside gnustep itself we have:
6) "non gnu" apps (nonfsf)
7) GAP
8) (...)

I usually we refer to more than "core" when we think of GNUstep. the 
core is a direct competitor of GTK and QT.
But we want for example or developer tools? We might be clearer about 
splitting things and doing a rebranding?

It might actually "dilute" the GNUstep concept.. or it might strengthen it.
