I've updated the 1.0 Roadmap here:

I'm throwing this out for discussion [...]
Is it still a good idea to keep applications like Mail.app or
Terminal.app with the development libraries/frameworks? For a few
months now there's the GNUstep Application Project (GAP) and moving
those apps there would make the central part of GNUstep independent
from these.
The reason I'm asking is, I think a GNUstep-only GNU/Linux distro
won't be accepted by a wide audience anytime soon, if it happens at
all. Accordingly, GNUstep should be (and is) prepared to coexist on
other distros like FreeBSD, PC-BSD, Debian, Ubuntu, SuSe,
Windows, ... you name it. Any of these distros, for example, feature
a terminal application already, so for me it's questionable to keep
another one written in GNUstep with the central GNUstep libraries/
frameworks. Moving non-development-oriented apps into GAP would
better reflect the thinking of most of today's OS distributions,
giving users a more comfortable experience.
