I would go farther and say a complete rebranding is in order. For the
vast majority of people, OpenStep no longer has meaning, making the
current naming of GNUstep a bit cumbersome to explain. My suggestion
for this, assuming renaming the whole project isn't possible, is to turn
it from a noun into a verb. Here's an attempt at a catch phrase:
Step outside the walled garden.
I think something like that can most succulently express what GNUstep
can accomplish. You wouldn't even have to change the logo, which can be
said to evoke the idea of going up over a wall. From that seed, yes,
you can absolutely branch out to all the ways that GNUstep can benefit
developers and users who want to remain independent of Apple (for
whatever reason).
