I'm not sure who better in the community to decide this than myself
and Owen, and we both believe these sites should be highly integrated.
I am *very* confident that other GTK+ developers would agree with 
this decision.

I did not always hold this view.  That is why there is little to no 
GNOME information on www.gtk.org currently.  GNOME wasn't ready to 
be marketed strongly to the developer for a long time.  I think that
time has changed.
