How about a good WWW interface to the gtk-list archives right on
redhat? The discuss archive is not threaded, etc, etc.
I should say now I've secretly been working on a GTK web page
of my own, which is starting to fill out. Take a look:
http://www.cs.umn.edu/~amundson/gtk/
Keep in mind I'm still working on the details.

I'd contribute to such a venture. I think it makes more sence to
make an C++ interface to GTK that is somewhat similar (but all it's
own) to Qt to make porting and convincing people easier. But I'm
not much of a C++ programmer (or C for that matter).
