Great, thanks for helping! While this gtk-love effort does not get any
"official" support I'd recommend that you just assign any of the bugs
to yourself, send the patch, add any bug you think might be addecuate
to the wiki... etc.

Would you like to set up a meeting on IRC some day to discuss about
this? Which day and time would be convenient to you?

So, I think I will just dump whatever I have in a wiki somewhere and
then send the link back to the list so we can discuss what kind of
documentation would be good for starting gtk+ hackers. Other areas of
the "standard" gtk+ doc that are in need of love will be glad to
receive patches too, I guess :)
