Hi all,

As some of you might know we started to work on something new called
Voyager, for those of you who don't know it here some links:

http://wiki.netlabs.org/index.php/Voyager

and

http://wiki.netlabs.org/index.php/Voyager_FAQ

Chris Wohlgemuth is now doing a prototype of a SOM replacement based on
GTK2 GUI code. So far he has to do it on Linux or BSD because GTK2
doesn't work properly on OS/2, he couldn't get the XFree86/OS2 samples
to compile properly.

Also, we don't want to use Xlib itself for the project but use Cairo on
Glitz (OpenGL based Cairo backend). In theory we could get that stuff to
work on OS/2 as well but we don't have the know how nor the time to do
that ourself.
So my question is if some of you would be willing to contribute a bit to
compile the code on OS/2 as well. This would probably mean to compile
Xorg and Glitz with Innotek LIBC and getting GTK2 to work on top of that
as well.

I think that would be very nice because we could do some development on
OS/2 itself as well like this.

Feedback is welcome :-)
