  I am not a project insider, so I can't comment on the project's
  (presumed) failure. Stefan Gradmann, or Eberhard Hilf probably can.

  There is a paper about GAP at

http://elpub.scix.net/cgi-bin/works/Show?0323

  The fact that the project is not alive three years after
  the paper was done should be a useful lesson. I claim that
  GAP is sufficiently close to OAPEN that OAPEN should
  not claim to be the first project of this kind. If the
  OAPEN proposers have not studied GAP in some detail,
  they failed to do their homework.

  Cheers,
