Re: GOK : I'd like to contribute.

Michel,

There is a lot of stuff to respond to here ;-)

Let's tackle the updating to the latest version problem first (as you 
suggest).

Can you tell me/us which linux distribution you are using?

GNOME is notoriously difficult to build.  I generally don't recommend it 
unless you are a linux whiz with GNU Tools experience.  Some folks get 
lucky though.  Do you feel lucky? 
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.6/notes/rninstallation.html
(be sure to check 
http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gnome-devel-list/2004-April/msg00005.html 
first)

If that doesn't work out... come back here.

cheers,

David
