Yes, I think that's a good idea -- less licences problems and imho more clear
than actual situation, in that it effectively highlights the available 
frameworks (while currently I think many of them just lay down in the cvs...)

www.gnustep-kits.org is available, I (or anybody else) could possibly take it 
if people agree on that idea. kits.gnustep.org is another option (could be a 
redirection too).

Proposed policy: keep up to date a list of the existing frameworks, possibly 
host some of them, points to the others..

Thanks to fabien, here is a list of potential frameworks that we could want to 
highlight (some of them aren't ported yet to gnustep) : 

XML
===

Skyrix-xml : 
   * a SAX2 Implementation for Objective-C
   * DOM on top of SaxObjC
   * an XML-RPC implementation (without the transport layer)
   * SaxObjC driver bundles for:  libical (iCalendar,
     vCard), expat (XML), plists, pyx, CoreFoundation (XML)

GNUstep extensions
==================

KoKit, Skyrix Core ?

PIM
===

Addresses
Skyrix core (classes for iCalendar/vCard)

Graphics
========

CameraTransfert, PDFKit, GOOD, 3DKit, Maliwan, Cenon framework ?

Sound
=====

SndKit, MusicKit

Network
=======

Skyrix core (again ^_^) : 
   * a java.io like stream and socket library ( a explicite ? )
   * a full IMAP4 implementation
   * prototypical POP3 and SMTP processors
   * an Objective-C wrapper for LDAP directory service
Pantomime (of course ;-)
Tryst
NetClasses
SMBKit
WebKit
gsldap

Database
========

GDL2 ...

Crypto
======

gscrypt, KoCrypt

Scripting/Binding
=================

StepTalk, JIGS (Java), RIGS (Ruby), Guile (Scheme), Pyobjc (Python), 
CamelBones (Perl)

NOTE: I didn't included gnustepweb or NGObjWeb because I see them more as 
Application Servers than framework...
