I'm just an occasional user and initially I had many of the same
reactions you did. But the group has been very helpful and now I've
climbed at least part way up the learning curve. Now you're subscribed
to the list you'll soon see the effort that is put into maintenance and
enhancements.

As well as the gtk-perl documentation, you will need to become familiar
with the C documentation, because a lot of the perl docs don't repeat
info that is already in the C docs. Start with the doc links at
<http://www.gtk.org/>.

Also very helpful is the Python documentation, e.g.
<http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/> which is more extensive and
generally fairly easy to understand in a perl context.

If there are broken links on the sourceforge site, I'm sure patches
would be welcome, or any other improvements you can suggest.

Cheers, Dave
