Many usable applications are scattering around and most of them are one-man-projects. Below is the list I have in mind. To me, these applications are sufficient to be a nice desktop environment after some polish. I think it will be better to have everything in one place and all developers can peek into each project from time to time.
While I think it is a good idea to have applications of a desktop environment in one place, it may not be with GNUstep "core". Here is an argument for similar situation: http://www.rubyinside.com/does-ruby-need-more-opinions-207.html GNUstep is more powerful than a foundation for a desktop environment. Because of the tight relation between GTK/GNOME, Qt/KDE, no one will try to use GTK and Qt to write server applications. ( Well, the argument here is not completely right here since GTK and Qt start as widget toolkit for xwindow. ) If we have a desktop environment with GNUstep "core" in one place, people might think GNUstep is just like GTK/Qt. Having GNUstep "core" and desktop environment in two places is not too bad for users. At least GNUstep won't be shadowed if the desktop environment successes.
