Porting two new apps to GNUstep

Currently efforts are underway to port both Bean and Flexisheet to GAP. GAP is the GNUstep Application Project.

GAP's focus from now on will be to both come up with original apps, but also to port as many apps as possible from Mac OS X/Cocoa to the GNUstep platform. This effort is an attempt to create an ecosystem of applications for GNUstep users to choose from.
