Thank you for your offer :-).  I think the first think to do is join the
mailing list (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cxxgui-devel).
Then post your sourceforge user id to the list, and I'll add you as a
developer, which should automatically give you commit privileges.

At the moment I'm puzzling over the design of the list/tree widget.
I'll forward to you an earlier post I made outlining my current plan.  I
suspect that the menu widget will be of a similar level of complexity,
so the design of that needs to be kicked around too.

However, if you want to get started writing actual widgets, there's
plenty to do there, too.  There is also scope to improve the level of
detail provided by the existing widgets, although I definitely don't
want to throw in everything and the kitchen sink.

Please send a mail to the list when you start working on something;
there's nothing worse than a project where nobody knows what anyone else
is doing :-).

Ah, yes :-).  If you see anything particularly confusing, please either
comment it or tell me about it.  I think it's all pretty
straightforward, though.
