Are you saying I should go over to IRC? I did look at the resources page, and I did see links to
programs made with PHP-GTK, but I'm talking about PHP-GTK itself. Also, the site itself needs a
design upgrade to match up as a blue version of php.net. Anyone visiting will see what gtk.php.net
looks like now and think that it is slightly outdated. I will go rescan the Resources page.
