Very nice indeed! Couple of suggestions regarding wording from me; but
as it's early in the morning--only had one coffee yet--my suggestions
aren't really printable.
Objective-C?
[...] Objective-C is easy to learn yet very powerful. Don't like
Objective-C? GNUstep also provides Java, Guile and Ruby bindings.
(i.e. try to get rid of one "yet" in that part, focus on learning curve
rather than simplicity.)
Cross Platform and Integration
[...] GNUstep is available for many different systems, including BSD,
Linux, OS-X, and a Microsoft Windows alpha port.
(i.e. try to avoid MS Windows in brackets next to Unix--brackets are
usually perceived as additional information pertaining to the parts of a
sentence preceding it.)
Layout suggestions:
- Try to avoid spaces in front of "?", "!" and ":". I know it's common
text formating for France (possibly Belgium as well), but in English,
spaces in front of punctuation signs are only used in all-caps titles,
if at all. Correct formating and spacing would be about half a space
anyway, not a full blank, depending on kerning / layout.
- Reduce the font count, especially on the "What's GNUstep" / "Rapid
Application Development" double page. Looks too busy, IMO.
Good work! Thanks a bunch!

P.S. short OT: You list the backbone project. I haven't heard from the
guys for quite some time, no reactions from e-mailing them either--does
anybody on the list have any information what's up with the project? -.rb
