URLs?  Maybe they should be added to the website.  I found the one for ILU.

I guess "conventions" were more what I was talking about.  Maybe some 
guidelines on naming and basic functionality for objects.

That's in gnome, correct?

I was just looking at your cvsweb since I'm away from my box.  Is there 
anyway to actually look at the contents of the files?

Should these types of discussions actually take place on the 
'gnome-components-list'.  I found it on the website and was wondering if 
others were actually on there.  I subscribed, but haven't seen any 
messages yet.
