Hi Riccardo, I second Zhang's view. A short description would give visitors - who aren't gnustep old stagers - an idea what GAP and all the other stuff on that page is about. Even if the frontpage is considered just a quick acces page. I think it would also help with regard to search

I did not find how to contact the webmast in the gap website so I just post it here. I'd propose small change on the index page to make it less confusing for newbies like me. What I did is to add short description to alive projects and hide the hibernating projects. Maybe there should be a
