Just a crazy thought--would anyone be interested in writing a backend for Fresco 
(http://www.fresco.org/)?  Fresco seems to be in desperate need of a desktop 
environment/user applications--KDE and GNOME seem to be absent there--and GNUstep already 
has some fine user applications (GNUMail, GORM, Workspace, Terminal) that would be 
beneficial to giving Fresco a leg up.  Furthermore, it seems to be a wide open 
opportunity to capture a new "market" if you'll pardon the borrowed phrase.

Fresco is a new frontier that no one seems to be taking advantage of.  Seems 
like getting in before anyone else would establish GNUstep as the premier 
desktop environment for Fresco.  Might even give a few people reason to try it 
out.  And I'm sure the Fresco developers would be grateful for the interest and 
might be willing to help out some in return.
