A small note on the lack of a gtk repository. I think that gtk is heavily
loosing out on not having a repository of widgets. The last few years I have
written a lot of gtk code and since several years, I am wrapping everything
into widgets. Were there a repository I would probably have uploaded a of
them, but as it is now I feel they are orphaned and they are "hidden" within
my various applications. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Especially now with Vala and Genie (but even before with gob2) it is very
easy to wrap functionality into widgets, and prepare the widgets for reuse.

As an example of the importance of a repository, just look at how important
CPAN is for Perl. And perhaps even appstore for the iphone...

Regards,
Dov
