Re: gtkmm wiki

Another topic regarding documentation. 

I think the docs for using gtkmm are at a good state. I'm not a newbie
and no pro, but I know mastering a gui-toolkit is only one thing about
coding an app. 

There are two things which come to my mind when looking back:

First:
        In the the beginning I tried to code everything by myself
        because it was just about having fun. But when doing real work
        it seems to be an holy rule to use existing libs!
        
Second:
        Understanding and adaoting examples is an efficient way to get
        things done. 

I want (or have to) make things portable!
There is a hole bunch of c++ libs(e.g. boost), wrappers(e.g. libxml++,
gtkmm) and c libs which are useful without a wrapper (e.g. gsl) out
there to accomplish this, but nearly no docs about using them together.
If I figured out how to get something done I want to shared this by
writing an documented example. I might not be the only one ;) 

I don't think it's the task of gtkmm to provide the ability to do this
and I'm not sure about if it's gnome's business to provide docs about
using gtk or gtkmm for making none-gnome apps.

??? any ideas ???
