Thanks ...

I've gone back and replied on the mailing list to let people know that you are 
starting on this.

I also wanted to let you (and anyone else interested) know that I've started 
trying to write some advice on how to go about contributing implementation of 
new OSX classes to GNUstep.
I have done this on the wiki at 
http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Contributing_to_GNUstep_core_libraries

My idea was that this should describe how (and why) we do things in a 
particular way.  Hopefully this should be the most effective way of doing 
things... and should give good information for people starting out (and even 
help more experienced people).  This will only work really well if people (core 
developers particularly)  provide input and try to make the advice clear and 
concise.

So far, I have only managed to put text into two out of six planned subtopic 
... but it's a start.
