Mmmm... But, as far as I can see, library.gnome.org is a (very) nicely
reorganization of the same information that already existed. I check

tutorial is still missing docs for several frequently used widgets 
(menus and menuitems, to name a couple)

But with the power of modern computers it might not be impossible.
The texts are (mostly) common between all languages.
