I browsed quickly throught it. Looks nice!

However according to you requirement of: "I'm
trying to aim this thing at people who don't have much experience with
Objective-C or Cocoa/OpenStep but who want to start developing
applications quickly"

I would suggest you have less theory and more simple sample program.

When learning a new language I usually like to write/compile/run a simple program
(hello world?) and then (second) get the theory behind what I did.

Then goes on a more complex sample and, again, after I tweaked it by guess browsing the documentation, read the theory again. And so on....

And I will try to have an happy new year, even though you excluded me from your wich target ;-)

Happy new year to all those on the other side of the world...

Some may have noticed that I've been writing a reference manual for
using GNUstep's AppKit. It's finally starting to looking like a real
manual instead of something more half-arsed, although it's still full of
stubs and is far from complete.

Here's the latest update:

So far I've had some substantial feedback (and some thread about
grammer), and I know it's still full of spelling errors (of which I'll
need to find time to fix), but I'd like to get some people's opinions as
to how they like to see this thing unfold. An idea of the future
direction of what this manual will be would be great. Anyone's
experiences with beginning to use GNUstep would be real useful, as I'm
trying to aim this thing at people who don't have much experience with
Objective-C or Cocoa/OpenStep but who want to start developing
applications quickly, If anyone has any documentation lying around that
they think will help, send me an email on the address below.
