Oh sure, I see no reason why GAP needs to be separate. Also, GAP
problems often are tied to GNUstep itself.

One thing of course to do is to make a list of tasks and try to make
them self-contained. i guess that this is needed?
Saying "we need to fix bug X in application Y" just to discover that the
bug is in GNUstep would probably invalidate the task, or can a person
work both on GNUstep and GAP? The user of course doesn't want to worry
where the bug is, he just wants a working application.

Maybe if we speak desktop-wise there are needs that are both of Etoile
and of GAP, so they could be developed once in a common framework put in
GNUstep.

To sum up, if GAP gets accepted into GSoC, we should sync a bit among
the projects to decide the tasks.
