IIRC is not the best place to "learn".. perhaps more to interact with 
people, have a chat without using proprietary tools like Skype and so on.
It is not very attended by many anymore. When I was a student I was 
there every day :)

The Foundation and AppKit documentations are quite nicely done with 
autogsdoc and they can be generated and installed locally. Exactly the 
same stuff that is from time to time updated and put on the website. 
That is, very compatible HTML easily browsable in a browser, including 
minimal browsers.
You can even "almost" use SWK+Vespucci.
Debian should perhaps ship them as doc packages ? Are you using debian 
packages for GNUstep? from your point below I infer yes.

I suppose you use the debian packaged version? Which one is it? The last 
released version is 0.6.2 where I tried to fix many crashes.
Are you on 64 bit? in case perhaps I can offer you a packport of a patch.
If you are running *latest release* then a bug report is useful.
If Debian doesn't update complain to them and check if there is a good 
reason.
