supposed to be relatively fast and small, feature rich, easy to configure and
easy to use, with a simple and elegant appearance borrowed from NEXTSTEP(tm).

<b>Window Maker</b> was designed keeping integration with GNUstep in
mind and is the
"official" window manager for it. It is also part of the GNU project
(<u>www.gnu.org</u>)

<b>What is <i>GNUstep?</i></b><p>
<i><b>G</i>NU</b>step is a complete object-oriented development system, based on the
OpenStep specification released by NeXT(tm) (now Apple(tm)) and Sun(tm). It will provide everything one needs to produce cross-platform, object-oriented, graphical (and non-graphical) applications; providing among other things, base system libraries, a high-level GUI application framework that uses a Display PostScript(tm)-like imaging model (DGS), objects for accessing relational databases, distributed objects and a graphical development environment, with tools like interface modeller, a project management system
(project center) and other tools.
<p>
The GNUstep development system will be used to create a user environment,
with everything needed for a complete graphical user interface, such as a
file viewer, text editors and other applications. Note that the user
environment (or "desktop environment") is only a small part of the whole
GNUstep project and therefore it does not "compete" with other projects like
KDE or GNOME, simply because they are completely different things.
