Yep. I plan to start hacking on the code. Biggest hurdle is that I don't know squat about GTK. If anyone knows good resources for learning GTK I'd appreciate it. Is that GTK book by Havoc Pennington a good investment?
If it's the one published in 1999, it's not worth it because it focuses on Gtk 1.x. I haven't seen good printed material for Gtk 2.x, unfortunately.
While I agree it's dated, I wouldn't say it isn't worth it. The nice part about the Havoc book is that it goes through the philosophy of what GTK+ is doing. I think that's the real trick in learning GTK+. But, since it is dated, try to borrow one from a friend or someone at your local LUG.
Of course you can also ask on these lists, or the GTK lists.
