Well, I certainly would like to help. At the moment, I'm writing some
programs using gtk and the main difficulty is to understand some of the
basic concepts. For instance, I haven't figured out what mapping and
realizing is. If someone can help me out to gain some overall insights,
it would be great. From there on, I can figure out what I need and
document it at the same time. The format is no problem, I can write it
in Texinfo, html or anything you want (except Ms word :-). I'm also
willing to (help) coordinate this.
Best regards,
Hoek.
