Ok, let me just state for the record that my personal problem with the
website is that it is in HTML *and* has a news section, that needs to
be updated by hand, this is why I never update the site and why I
will sooner rewrite the whole site than go and painfully update it myself
again.

Content wise, I think we can do away completely with the "History"
and "Future" pages, which really only has alot of redundant
past release info that you can get on the gnome ftp server anyway.

It would be great if we could update the content in "applications"
and "links", i.e. list programs that use Glade, but not only the
ones who used it 10 years ago....

It is supposed to work by now and be usable.

Please attach the glade file to a bug so I can reproduce and fix it.

Thanks alot !
