Could Ariel (or perhaps someone else who is also working on it) please clarify what the intentions for continuing development are? Reasons for asking: * I could not get the guile-gtk 0.21pre4 release to build against GTK 2 (1.3), and configuration code that appeared to be for GTK 2 was disabled. I had the same problem with CVS version. * When built against GTK 1.2 and Guile 1.5.4 CVS, some of the guile-gtk widget demos have errors (possibly due to Guile changes). It was also unclear how much new functionality has been added in recent times. * Ariel's true love may be the full Gnome platform in all its glory, and it may be asking too much of him -- or anyone -- to burden him with separately developing and maintaining *non*-Gnome GTK bindings. No flame intended; I just need to understand where guilt-gtk is going if I'm to be able to use Guile at all. So far it's been confusing. Please note that guile-gobject won't work for me and some other people, since anything Gnome-dependent presents technical (e.g., size, complexity) and/or political issues. However, Guile bindings for GTK 2 (and perhaps Pango and Libart), are very much desired -- so long as they are independent of Gnome.
