1. Looking for help wrapping Xlib
I'd like somebody (or a few people) to help me wrap Xlib.h. I'm trying
to document each structure and function as I go, and its taking
forever. I don't want to spend all this time coding stuff that
immaterial to this project. E-mail me off the list at
ghaberek at gmail.com and I will provide the chunks of code and examples
of how I want it wrapped. There's a lot of code to wrap (like all the
functions). Its quite easy, just time consuming.
Anyone who helps out gets their name listed under Authors in the documentation.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Greg,
What exactly is XLib?
Take care,

Funny, I was just starting to wrap the Cairo library and needed a few xlib
functions for the demos. And I thought to myself, "Self, GTK and WX are
nice and all, but somebody ought to wrap Xlib too. Maybe I'll do it at
the end of the year."
Looks like you beat me to it. If you haven't finished by December, let me
know and I should be able to help around then.

Xlib v11 is also known as libX11. It is the basis of all of X Windows.
Every X toolkit (Motif, Athena, XT) is based on Xlib. There are
thousands, if not tens of thousands of lines of code to wrap. I need
help. :)

Well the wrapper will most certainly be done in a matter of days or
weeks. But the high-level interface may be under constant development
for some time. I be publishing a website with regular updates, so
everyone will be able to stay updated.
