Maybe you should write a blog post about this or at least tweet it.
The IT-world needs to know and it doesn’t. It still thinks GNUstep is
just Window Maker and old fashioned looking. Had this discussion just
two days ago. Again.
you can't fix the world... some people still think earth is flat.
I mean that "we" are quite sensitive about misconceptions that touch our
subjects.
In the restoring of the website (currently at
http://http://wwwmain.gnustep.org), I just took the time to clarify this
more, making a pun on WINGs.
We already state it one-click from the homepage, in any case.
WindowMaker is quite clear too:
Neither we nor our cousins are ambigous. They write:
"*Window Maker* is an X11 window manager
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_manager> originally designed to
provide integration support for the GNUstep <http://gnustep.org> Desktop
Environment, although it can run stand alone. In every way possible, it
reproduces the elegant look and feel of the NeXTSTEP
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP> user interface."
"WINGs Is Not GNUstep" is also quite clear.
So if somebody wants to know, he can quickly, otherwise he can still
think the earth is flat, even if Eratosthenes measured its diameter
within 2% error two centuries b. C.
