Think about Frameworks as libraries.  If I see a link 
"Libraries"  I expect a list of libraries, not only documentation.

Hm, I think it should not be there at all.  But perhaps

    GNUstep Contributors

is better?  There is already a Contributors section in the righ
hand side link list.  And it might be better "conceptually" split
the site in two:  

    Users
    Contributors

So the section mentioned above should be under the Contributors
section. (I hope I make sense)

No, that is not what I mean :-).  When I am browsing a site
I do not like it when I am /unexpectedly/ end up at another site.
So I guess that I mean that I would like external links to 
be clearly labeled as such (Well, depending on the section, 
most of the time the context makes it clear that it is 
external, but in this case I was suprised.)

Also, I do think it would be nicer if the 
"News" section of the .us site is part of the Overview
section of the main gnustep.org site.
