In Usenet as in military service, it's not about who steps forward, it's 
about who doesn't step backward.  If you search for 
"comp.lang.objective-c alternative FAQ" you'll see a couple of efforts 
which never really got off the ground.

Thanks!  I've CC'd this to cocoa-dev and discuss-gnustep as it might be 
useful to those lists - please sort out the reply-to's when you respond 
;-).  The URL for the new FAQ is currently 
http://nextstep.sdf-eu.org/clocFAQ/

Cheers,
