The WebObjects 4.5 documents also address Objective-C - check out:

  
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/LegacyTechnologies/WebObjects/WebObjects_4.5/webobjects.html

You're right though - we do need some "Getting started with GSWeb" 
kind of documentation, targetted at new developers so that they can 
get tangible results fairly quickly...

Things like all the basic steps to write a basic component, including 
directory structure, makefiles etc. Then a bit on GDL2, manual 
database setups and writing a model file or using DBModeler. I've got 
some stuff from a while ago I can put up on the wiki, but perhaps 
other people have material ready to go?

The GNUstep svn repository on gna.org I assume. There's a bit of 
information, but it's in no way a howto here:

  http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Using_Subversion

The key information is the anaonymous access part at the top, and 
information about the GNUstep project structure.
