I found about 270 broken links with a link checking tool for www.gnustep.org. I’ll take a look this weekend to see if it might be something I can volunteer to help fix or at least produce a list of some archive.org replacements in a table. With that said is gnustep.org being replaced with gnustep.github.io?
