Having not developed any yet (and not being Stefan), I can't say
completely, but even though I know PyGTK+ fairly well, I had a hard
time getting anywhere in the limited time I've been able to spend on
it.  I felt like the docs could've used a few more examples (maybe
some example code blocks from existing extensions?).  The PyGTK+
tutorial is an example of something that really helped me.  Perhaps if
I could grok the C API I'd be in better shape, but alas.  Is this
mailing list the place to ask questions about developing?  I find that
I work better when I'm constantly getting feedback and discussing.
(Maybe that's just a lack of skill.)

Agreed; I've found random things on Bugzilla but there seems to be no
central place.  Maybe the wiki [1] though I'm not sure it'd be
suitable for uploading files.

Anyway, Epiphany is nice!  I'm looking to make tab navigation a bit
easier with a navigation like Opera or the Firefox extension LastTab.
(Speak up if you'd like to work together.)

Cheers,
