We are all involved in university, and university makes you busy right in 
may/june/july, and in august people go on holiday. In september I am sure 
that the work will continue.

I see that only Daan worked this summer, and wxwindows bindings are just a 
good thing. I don't think anybody is still willing to make the CGA his own 
way :)

Given the fact that htoolkit, gtk*hs and wxhaskell are active projects, I 
think that we should try to abstract a common API from these three libraries, 
and to make this API comply to the CGA goals. Or else just surrender to the 
fact that wxwindows is easier, and that they have done the same work we 
should do, I don't know.
