Well GAP stands for GNUstep Application Project. So The focus is
GNUstep, not just any application. We strive to be cross-platform with
Cocoa though and have several applications ported /from/ OpenStep or
Cocoa as well as ported /to/ them.

Currenly GAP has a lot of applications, several of them never announced
because they are far from complete. My biggest interest would be to
finish them off, but this is of course not so interesting for a student.
The only exception might be FlexiSheet.

A project could be: take application X and port it to gnustep.
Another one could be: write one from scratch.

If the app interests me but, more importantly, it is in a field I
understand I could even offer myself for mentoring. Currently I do not
have enough time even to make a proper project proposal, but that should
get better soon.

Instead of Games, I think user application, office appplication,
developer applications and system tools are far more important (but
maybe less cool for students).

Out of personal interest, Vim on GNUstep would be excellent :)

OpenOffice is a big project, but that would be very very interesting!
