ouch, that hurts! As one of the core developers in GAP! Being not known 
is a problem!

Don't you see the App release announcements? Many come from here.

Short for "GNUstep Application Project" it is the home of many 
applications and frameworks either Freshly developed or ported. It is 
also the place where many existing applications that were unmaintained 
and where bitrotting found a home and get at least some maintenance and 
bugfix care.



It is not really a "complete DE" and Etoile has for now more 
comprehensive (and perhaps more radical) goals, but we are a small team 
and try to keep up with the applications and tools first.

PS: for the sake of completeness, there is a third project involved in 
enhancing your desktop experience: Backbone. I forgot to mention it 
because it follows the philosophy of continuous development (=get your 
stuff from SVN/GIT) and did not release or announce anything since a 
long time. I don't know in which state it is.

Actually, for this reason GAP has its copy of Terminal.app for now.
