That reminds me what the GNUstep Software Index is showing as content

Maybe, it should be more part of the GAP Web Page?
If it would help, we could add a database checkbox "GAP" so that it
shows only the GAP projects.
There are 3 places where I can find description of a project.
1. http://www.gnustep.org/softwareindex/
2. http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Category:Applications
3. GAP maintain introduction of their projects (some GAP projects
seems to be not listed on GAP frontpage yet)
If I want to help update description of a software package
(especially if it is part of GAP), where should I update? Should I
submit patch to GAP webmaster, and then go to wiki page for 2nd
update, and software index to fill an update form?
IMHO there should only be two locations, but currently we have all
three.
GNUstep SWI is thought to be a "master index" of all software -
completely independent who is hosting it. It is also thought to be a
communication tool (newsticker) where developers can post "I have a
new version, please go here and there for more information".
And, of course, each project should have a project page somewhere that
describes the details and is maintained by the developer(s).
The point 2 is somewhat historical when it was thought that a master
index on a Wiki Page is easier to be maintained. Maybe, the users and
community should decide how to continue between 1 & 2. I.e. from a
user's perspective: which "master index" is easier to use and in which
one is it easier to locate something.
GAP falls into the "developer maintained" category (as many other
projects do). GAP does not collect ALL applications that are available
for GNUstep so it is not a master index.
So if you contribute to GAP, please also post an update on the SWI. If
you contribute to Etoile, please as well. The same for other projects
and applications that are neither GAP nor SWI.
I hope this clarifies a little.
