not really (sorry!). I hardly find time to do anything but preparing our 
'open to the public' day next weekend.

first you need to set up a working configure.in/autogen.sh (that's 
probably the hardest) for the generated project. If you manage to get 
gettext working, a lot of people would be glad (it once worked as of 
gnome 1.0, but gnome 1.4 seems to be different - I never found 
definitive docs - that's why I really look forward to gnome2).

second you need to write a write for the unknown widgets (with the ones 
at hand this should be relatively easy).

And last but not least the gnome menu support is really ugly (menubar.cc 
IIRC). I rewrote a much cleaner one for the gtkmm menu support and the 
gnome support need a rewrite too (Mostly applying the developed scheme).

Sorry, I never IRC. But EMail should be fast enough since we live in the 
same time zone.
