Sounds to me like we need a GNUstep-centric end-user oriented app browser...
something like a GNUstep Software Index<http://www.gnustep.org/softwareindex/>,
but perhaps a more graphical, desktop app with a single-click
fetch-source-configure-make-makeinstall? For any platform? :-)

Maybe even a New And Improved Name(tm). Something like... GNUstep App Store. Or
maybe not <http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12817083> :-)

Nah, I'm just kidding. It would be excellent if someone were to dig into it;
current distribution-specific repositories are great for other software, but
GNUstep software is under-maintained. Except maybe on, from what everyone
keeps saying, FreeBSD. :-)
