Thanks MJ, esp. the note on the next newsgroup. Missed some of that stuff. A very early draft on the early years of GNUstep is attached.Hope people comment who have been around from almost the beginning (Adam?), to fill some gaps.

I found bits and pieces about Paul Kunz but that's about it.You probably already have these, but http://www.gnustep.org/information/openstep.html http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/README have a (very) little historical information, while http://www.gnustep.org/developers/whoiswho.html http://www.gnustep.org/developers/copyright.html may suggest people to ask for more info. Searching old newsgroups for info can also help, as early developments were discussed on comp.sys.next.* at least.
