I think the wiki *is* pretty inactive ... for instance, the last release of 
gnustep-base was more like six months ago, and coincidentaly, the next one is 
later today (so svn trunk currently contains the 1.24.8 version if you are too 
impatient to wait a few hours for the package to be available for download).
