Your wget didn't get both the stylesheets. I don't know if you can 
make it do that.

Someone probably needs to explain just what frameworks are to me. I 
don't understand that discussion on discuss-gnustep.

Has the mail2news gateway broken for everyone else?

Would "GNUstep Library Programmers" be better?

I think that page should be merged into others and removed.

The "related sites" page is going to die, if that's what you mean. 
gnustep.us is much better set-up for publishing news than gnustep.org, 
which is struggling to be a good information site.
