One thing that came to my mind again was a page of success stories. More than just the two applications on the wiki's 
success stories page (one of which is a 404 link). I gather there are a couple of deployments around that would prove 
that GNUstep is a) alive and b) interesting for "serious business" (And what about the mobile platform efforts, 
haven't you been there before iPhone and Googlephone? Then it would deserve some report, proving the multi-platform 
aspect very nicely.). I think that if you can get something like that together, it would deserve a place rather up 
front. (Compare the idea to the popularity of screenshots on project presentations. WRT an API, this makes much more 
sense then mere screenshots.)

Sorry for not being able to actually contribute much...

PS.

In fact, time permitting I would be very curious and try to get there just to have a look "from close". I'm merely an 
observer, pushing back my own ideas about what I could do with it month after month, but Frankfurt is literally around 
the corner, so this could end up being my first visit to anything remotely like a convention...
