Currently Terminal is not distributed with GNUstep itself, it's in GAP. Mail is also not in GNUstep. The only applications which are distributed with GNUstep are:
Core applications: * Gorm * ProjectCenter * DBModeller * GWorkspace * SystemPreferences And a few examples: * Ink The first three are development apps... GWorkspace is a FileViewer and is the one desktop app that is in GNUstep. SystemPreferences is for maintaining default settings. Also, GAP has been around for several years. :) We've become more active over the last couple of months. Also... you're not forced as a packager to include anything you don't want. :) You can deliver the apps separately since they exist in separate places in the repository.
