In any case, if our goal is to gain users, there are other approaches which would be much more effective. If this is the only reason for removing "gtkmm" and "C++" from the top of the main page, I don't think it is a strong enough reason. Unless and until someone puts together a dedicated developer.inkscape.org as Alan suggested, I think these things should be restored to our main page, or at least be added near the top of the FAQ.
Sure, a FAQ along the lines of "What programming languages and toolkits are used by Inkscape" would be entirely appropriate. Feel free to add it. Just so long as it's not on top of the front page, for the reasons I explained.
Since you feel so strongly that these things should not be on the home page, let me ask that you take the action of moving them to the faq, and I will accept having it removed from the home page even though I do not agree with your arguments. I think that is a fair compromise.
Also, please be careful not to use phrasings like "Just so long as it's not..." which could be interpreted to be dictatorial. Since I had written this page originally, your wording sounded a bit presumptuous and rude. As you've mentioned before, your writing is often misunderstood, so I assume this is not how you meant it to sound.
