Re: Project Status

[Jader Feijo]

Thank you very much for your prompt response Germán. It is great to hear the 
project is still active! I will register in the forums in indicated to discuss 
the UIKit development further.

If I want to get involved with the development of the GNUstep itself, how would 
I go about it? Is there an official agenda / bug tracking system, etc...

I am very interested in helping out however I can.

Kind Regards,
