Is there already something written in the page? I have only the wiki title
and a blank page...

Is this point really important?
It's like waiting for a stable version of glade before releasing gtk,
isn't it?
I see the WidgetFoundry as a PicoGUI tool and not as a part of
the PicoGUI ~ui toolkit~.
In comparison with themetools that is needed to customise the look of
your application, the WidgetFoundry is not necessary to create it.

Maybe PicoGUI have to be split in something like :

  * picogui-uitoolkit (server + clients)
  * picogui-themec (theme compiler, example, extra-themes)
  * picogui-widgetfoundry (The WidgetFoundry)

with some dependences between the packages.

Just my own vision of the project...
