I do. However, the way gnome.org processed our attempt to move the 
project to gnome.org has caused my interest in further pursuing a mover 
of gtkglext to gnome.org to a minimum.

I regret having to say so, but provided the way gnome.org processed our 
attempt to move the project to gnome.org, I am not sure further pursuing 
a mover of gtkglext to gnome.org is a good idea.

Well, only if gnome.org changes their attitude. Otherwise gtkglext is 
likely better off staying with sourceforge or with moving to another site.

Correct.
