Hello everyone,

I used to be the one maintaining gnustep.github.io, but that is no 
longer true now that I have gotten more busy and my open-source software 
side projects have moved onto other topics. I'll take a look at these 
dead links, but I think it would be good if somebody else were willing 
to maintain the documentation and website. Even if not, it might be good 
to give some more people edit permissions (Gregory, please send your 
thoughts about this.) There are still many missing parts of the website, 
and it also needs to be kept up-to-date with new API references when new 
releases come out.

(That reminds me, if anyone likes using the Conda packages it would be 
good if somebody could update the stable conda-package repository every 
time there's a release. Since it will also be useful for projects other 
than GNUstep, I will probably set up the unstable conda-package 
repository to publish new packages every night.)

Thanks,
Ethan Charoenpitaks
