Yes indeed, and other statements as well.
Several comments see the project as dead. Which is a pity, as I follow 
the progress of Sergii on Nextspace and its work is quite impressive.
Also, digged into this discussion, someone pointed to a screenshot of 
mine on my github account, which a little christmas gift for me.

So do I ! That's why I'm reading books about GNUstep for now and doing 
all the exercices in them. I'd like to achieve at least two things :
        - port rik to objc1 and have it  up-to-date on ppc.
	- try to code a very first application on gnustep : a screenshot 
utility that I miss for my gnustep desktop. I've seen an example of it 
on the gnustep developper pages on the web site and could start with that.

I'd also like to recreate some app icons in RikIcons and also create 
Tiger icons for GNUstep and a modified version of rik suiting them.

But time is the ennemy.
