How so?  I think you are misunderstanding the issue.  People are going to go to
gtk.org.  It is a natural URL for GTK+.  So we will have it, and let GTK+ 
programmers get at the GTK+ information they need.  In the process, we will 
show them the full GNOME development platform.  Basically, if you are a GTK+
programmer, why would you go to gnome.org?
