Yes maybe. I am subscribbed to gtk-list, gtk-app-devel, gtk-source-view and gedit list. The last two are absolutely death. Someone told me to try IRC, so I joined it some months ago for a few hours, there was no traffic at all, so I disconnected... Other places? Years ago there was a web forum without much traffic, I am not sure if that still exists. Well I have never looked on Facebook or youtube for GTK people :-) People generally start in age about 12 with programming, and they like to do something that is fun. 5 lines CSS code to change a color is not that much fun unfortunately. Do you think they come back to GTK when they have threir PhD? At least, the few GTK coders I am aware of are all 30 or more years old, most are even older. Currently I am working on high level gobject introspection Nim bindigs, as you may remember... _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
