What is a _very_ simple webbrowser good for? I don't think many peope are interested in using such a browser if there are far better alternatives like Firefox and Konqueror. In case you don't know, there is a free webbrowser based on WebKit and written in Cocoa: Shiira (http://hmdt-web.net/shiira/en). It's BSD licensed. I cannot try it because I don't have a Mac. But a browser like this (or Safari) would make gnustep much more interesting for users (and developers are also users and often help with projects that they use). Personally, I kept a eye on gnustep for a long time and and every now and then I think about writing a small gnustep app (I would like to write a simple painting app like KolourPaint). But I always abolished the idea because I cannot use gnustep as my desktop (and gnustep apps are unsuable under KDE) and developed for KDE instead. But I still hope that gnustep is useable as a desktop some day (and for me that means mainly, that basic applications that I use every day like an email programm and a browser are available). At this point I probably will start to develop for gnustep.
