    We are always short of hackers for Glade, I wont be around for the
following couple of days but if you want to contribute to Glade I will be
pleased and happy to coach you and help you to learn about GTK+/GObject
and the Glade code base.

The best thing would be for you to hang out on the #glade3 irc channel,
and it wouldn't hurt to lurk around on #gtk+ too at least to observe and
learn.

Thanks for taking an interest, if you're interested in hacking on Glade
please do come and hang out on irc for starters (and... try building
Glade git master with GTK+ 3.0).

Cheers,
