Re: GNUstep Kickstarter Project

[Gregory Casamento]

If I could promise any of those things I would.   The problem is that I can't.  
I've been working for a while just to make WebKit compile and I've learned the 
hard way that the only way to do it is to build out GNUstep in order to make it 
happen.   Anyway, this was discussed with the other maintainers and I will add 
progress and goals as I go.
