And those that try to work on themes... get stuck with actual theming 
support in applications, bugs and gnustep-core.

I have on my list:

1) Sleek: the new version looks quite cool to me and will be its first 
complete release, but it still misses some support here and there to be 
properly display, also oinsite GWorkspace. But I'd appreciate a little 
help there
2) Neos: after some lessons learned in Sleek, I want to improve it and 
make a second release
3) ThinkDark: a Dark "color scheme", currently on hold until color 
support of controls improves
3) Windows native: its image loading broke and is in such state since 
months/years, this limits certain refinements. It has other limitations 
which I know tih Gregory but don't find the time with him to work on, 
like better menu sizing which would make things much more pratical.

So lots of fire on the wood, but little help in certain key areas. But 
again  definitely not "dead". Just by checking the blogs progress can be 
sensed.
