I actually mention PHP-GTK in my sessions. I mention it as an anecdote, much like I mention some of the other interesting modules and projects in PHP (e.g., PEAR).

Oh, man, do you really do that? That is worse than not mention it at all. You may be joking but not everybody may understand it that way. Doing that you ruining the credibility of those efforts that take PHP far out what originally it was meant for. If you are going to just make it a joke, you'd better not mention it at all. I think that is Heyheyhey, cool down. Anecdote != Joke. That's important. "Anecdote" in this context simply means an "and by the way, there also other interesting uses for PHP: ..." Actually that's just what you wanted him to say :)

Oh, so it *was* the right word? :) Zeev
