Hi,

back in the days when it was called Berlin I (and I guess some others too)
had this idea too, but I never found the time to play with. It would
certainly be interesting to see GNUstep working w/ it, even if it was some
kind of 'academic scenario'. Also I wonder how stable Fresco is, as it seems
to be kind of 'slowly moving project' too :-)
