Excellent, I have seen comments from people saying that they want this.
I guess we are talking about this project:
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile-gtk/

I can't find any recent tarball releases so I'll start invetigating more
when you make the first GNOME 2.7.1 tarballs.

It looks like you have only recently started to wrap GTK+ 2 rather than
GTK+ 1.2, so I'll need convinving that you are not rushing into API
freeze too soon. I'll be hoping to see lots of examples/tests/demos. Can
you give me some more detailed information about your recent
activity/progress/popularity/feedback?

Do you have some way to do parallel-installable versions of the API if
you need to break things in future?

By the way, I encourage everybody to use some bug-tracker - preferably
the GNOME bugzilla. That makes it easier for me, as well as you, to
track progress. But it's your project and you are the boss.

These are not GNOME Platform APIs. I'm glad that they are distributed
separately.
