Yes I agree, would be fine to have the original gnome packs and the last
ones for slackware. That was my first idea. I would like to contribute 
if go for it. I think would be no big deal to prepare the slackware
packs. Another thing I want to know is, do we start doing that from a 
clean slackware install ? So this means without the gnome packages 
installed from the slackware CD. Also as I know the Slackware packages 
should be the same as the original ones from gnome. I don't know how
fast is slackware updateing the gnome packs.
