PEAK is not complete, and will not be for quite a while.  Most likely, GNUe 
will stay ahead of us in their targeted application area, since they have 
both more existing progress and more developers.

One of the list regulars, Ulrich Eck, has created a GUI framework based on 
PEAK; you might ask him about it.

If by "working on", you mean "actively developing the framework", that 
would just be me.  Ty Sarna has also contributed many modules and tools, as 
well as providing lots of input to my design decisions.  If by "working 
on", you mean "using", then there are plenty more people such as Ulrich, 
Alexander, Radek, and John who are building things based on the framework, 
and are participants here and on the IRC channel.

It is dual-licensed under two GPL-compatible licenses, the PSF and ZPL 
licenses (Python and Zope).  So, it is GPL-compatible but not GPL-encumbered.
