Hi people !

I'm looking for someone interested in developping a LablGTK version of
Osiris.
Osiris is a set of very easy to use classes built on top of the OCaml Win32
API.
Here's a simple example :

open Osiris;;
let wnd = new_window() in
let my_button = new_button wnd#container in
my_button#x 50;
my_button#y 100;
my_button#caption "Click Me !";
my_button#on_click (fun _ -> message_box "Button clicked");
wnd#visible true;
while wnd#process true do
  ()
done;;

Osiris is 100% written in pure OCaml, but right now only the native Win32
GUI is supported . I would like to add support for GTK, so Osiris would be
available on all platforms. The things to do are :
1) check that the current classes types can be implemented with Lablgtk
(GTK, GTK+ , GTK2 ?) or modify them
2) work on commons classes types design for new components which are both
supported by GTK and Win32 API.
3) implements theses classes with Lablgtk

Once Osiris will be ported to GTK, that will provide to the whole ocaml
community a common interface for writting GUI's easily and could then be
included in the OCaml Standard Extended Library.
What do you think of it ?
