Hello, Good Evening Ben,

I just read this message because earlier today I was busy. I will say that t=
hat happens to be the first point of interest for me, but I am also interest=
ed in the code. But I want toet the website in sync with today, not last dec=
ade, as I told Elizabeth on IRC earlier today.=20

I happen to have a website (though it's kind of stuck right now) was meant t=
o be a social network but I kind of just quit after I got bored - most proje=
cts end up finished.=20

I will say that as soon as I get the chance, I want to use a similar light b=
lue and dark blue scheme as exhibited on this site, though it may need to be=
 a bit lighter to match aesthetically with the theme.=20

Also, general question here, is it time to mark PHP-GTK 1 and 2 as archived,=
 due to their age? And more importantly, is it time to stop using DocBook an=
d XSL and actually write it ourselves? Just some food for thought, because t=
his is what some say is difficult, but honestly, when the first release is m=
ade for PHP-GTK3, wouldn't it make sense to write documentation specific to t=
he new one? I realize PHP-GTK3 works fine, but if you want Glade and other t=
hings, you're pretty much SOL. Just wanting some feedback because this is pr=
obably one of the most important part for people other than the software its=
elf. We need documentation and tutorials, which partially helped me until "H=
ello Glade." Anyways, is it just me, or is it when I came barreling in here,=
 did everyone else just follow? LOL ;) Not a bad thing for a project that ne=
eds people to join!
