I've updated the 1.0 Roadmap here: http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Roadmap I'm throwing this out for discussion [...]
Is it still a good idea to keep applications like Mail.app or Terminal.app with the development libraries/frameworks? For a few months now there's the GNUstep Application Project (GAP) and moving those apps there would make the central part of GNUstep independent from these.
The reason I'm asking is, I think a GNUstep-only GNU/Linux distro won't be accepted by a wide audience anytime soon, if it happens at all. Accordingly, GNUstep should be (and is) prepared to coexist on other distros like FreeBSD, PC-BSD, Debian, Ubuntu, SuSe, Windows, ... you name it. Any of these distros, for example, feature a terminal application already, so for me it's questionable to keep another one written in GNUstep with the central GNUstep libraries/ frameworks. Moving non-development-oriented apps into GAP would better reflect the thinking of most of today's OS distributions, giving users a more comfortable experience.
