Sure. Just because I like you, I'll email you a tarball.

It's not _really_ backwards-compatible, but the code shouldn't be
difficult to adapt. Lorenzo knows the changes in depth, but essentially
the class diagram is simpler, with less inheritance and less silly
wasted classes. A couple of bits and pieces relating to the widgets is
still TODO, and some parts of the Proxy still need polishing, but it's
usable already.

It's goals are the same as for Kiwi1 -- making developing GUI apps as
easy as possible; a lot of that involves providing structure for GUI
apps, facilitating integration with libglade/gazpacho, and offering
extended widgets. So you'll be right at home with it :-)

Kiwi2 was being developed by Lorenzo at Async; he'll likely help us out
from now on, but we're assuming development of it in-house. Johan, I and
possibly Gustavo will be hacking on it.

Take care,
