Hi, I found some mailings in archive.

I saw recently that there is a GTK directory in the Chicken CVS tree. Is
that related to the above-mentioned thread? Is it in active development?
BTW, I really don't want to reopen the February discussion, but I think
Brandon had it right on most points, particularly that people want GUI
toolkits that they can use to create featureful, "professional" (ooh,
loaded word there!) applications. It should be as simple as it can be
and still satisfy that goal. Furthermore, I would suggest that the goal
of providing a common API for several backends is a worthy one--but
strategically speaking it might be best to get *one* backend working
well before branching out to others. Seems to me that people will
respect a well-focused project that shows visible progress, even if it
doesn't meet their immediate needs.
Lastly, if there is an ongoing GTK-wrapping effort I am willing to
contribute a modest amount of time to it. I'm not much of a C coder, but
you could give me simple, tedious portions of the API.
