Hi David Ayers, Thanks for the info. I now understand there are many big changes going on within gnustep from the foundation and up.
I got lots help from Dave Wetzel about gdl2+gsweb. I think his work is very important and very challenging. It makes sense not stick to WO45 and adapt current trend. I see a chance to improve WO45 now.
