Well, I certainly would like to help.  At the moment, I'm writing some
programs using gtk and the main difficulty is to understand some of the
basic concepts.  For instance, I haven't figured out what mapping and
realizing is.  If someone can help me out to gain some overall insights,
it would be great.  From there on, I can figure out what I need and
document it at the same time.  The format is no problem, I can write it
in Texinfo, html or anything you want (except Ms word :-).  I'm also
willing to (help) coordinate this.  

Best regards,

Hoek.
