It looks like the only GNOME widget which has been worked on is the
gnome-print stuff. I started work on a special template for widgets a
while ago, but I din't quite finish and I can't access them until Friday.  
It is up to you if you want to wait until Friday or just start over.  If
you start over, lets be sure to put it in CVS and on the web with the
other templates.

I don't anticipate any trouble here.  If you are worried about it, you
might drop an email to George, Miguel, or Jacob.  I think George and
Miguel are going to OLS though, so I'm not sure how quickly they will
respond.  I think you would be pretty safe writing the doc first and then
we'll take care of binding it in later.
