I assume that the author of the diagram wanted to convey the idea of GTK+ after Project Ridley is completed using a placeholder name instead of "GTK+ + everything that survived or has been created under the Project Ridley umbrella". But you're lucky: GNOME Live! is a wiki, and it's very probable that the author of that page is getting notification for changes; so, if you want a clarification on what the page says you just have to add a note to it, or mail the author directly. > At the same time "Gnome Bindings" lists GTK+ > wrappers using their full names. > > It seems to me that Gnome is digging a grave for GTK+. What attitude can > you expect from me now? If you had looked at the Project Ridley page on the very same wiki[1] you'd have seen that "Project Ridley" is an ongoing project involving GTK+ and some GNOME libraries. When Ridley is declared complete, and we have achieved its goals, the result will always be GTK+ but in turn we'll have a bunch of other libraries plus a whole bunch of deprecated stuff. So, the attitude we can expect from a person whom wants to contribute something to GNOME in terms of organisation and policies is to try and understand the current organisation, policies and goals; and only after that, proposing to change something (complete with a nice road map and rationales for every point).
