APIs for GTK, curses etc are rather stable, right? So when one has
caught up with the backend implementation there's not that much to
do for a while, until the next major version.

I'll try the old release and the CVS version and see what I find.
I'll try GTK too.

I think tarballs or installation programs would mean more people trying
anygui out. People are lazy and many don't know how to use cvs.

What's the second system syndrom?

So let's get active  :)

My main interests are gtk, qt and curses, so perhaps I can help there.
After figuring out how it all works...

When I'm on freenode I'll be in #anygui. You should be too  ;)

www.anygui.org points to http://www.anygui.org/anygui.sf.net
That's a faulty url. Does de...@an... still work?
