I'm from Regensburg, Germany.
Unfortunately GNUstep CVS don't work anymore for me (gcc-3.0 fails
building base, gcc-2.95.3 with libobjc worked).
I worked for OneVision, Germany, and wrote some small OPENSTEP
modules/applications. I didn't use GNUstep for writing OpenStep-
Apps for quite some time (more than 1 year), therefore I don't
know the exact status of the GNUstzep project.
But I know about OpenStep-API and I *love* it (and ObjC)! 
Moreover I move away from Germany (to Ireland or Scotland) beginning
of September, therefore I don't have much time. 
I'm willing to help you, but I need your help and we should
do it in the next 6 weeks!
