Christian also had some ideas.

IMPORTANT: Above are just my ideas. Feedback from the rest (esp from
you, james).

I bet he's still reading but doesn't have the time to answer all he
mails he gets. However, the "rest of the guys" are aware since that has
been discussed on irc ;)

My feeling is that there is few chance that pygtk gets released before
gnome 2.6 is released. Therefore we should go 2.4/2.6

I wouldn't use a new mailing list for now. I think a second mailing list
may be needed if we find the traffic is high enough to create one.

Christian proposed to setup a reviewing team. Some of us (including me)
do have cvs access. Including patches in bugzilla can be a good start
since we'll be able to trace it in case of someone want to review it
before it is included.

Christian will setup tutorials/articles pages on pygtk.org
I don't know what's the state of the API documentation but it could be
an idea to step trhough it and looks how complete it is.
I will try to add a page that lists tasks to be done.
