This site grew into existance when Shawn T. Amundson (still the current maintainer of the site), posted his GTK+ FAQ onto his personal GTK+ web page. After Shawn help organize the creation of www.gimp.org, the gtk.org domain was registered and his webpage evolved into what you see now. The site is hosted by XCF at Berkeley.

We now have a few others helping with the site too. Several of the gimp.org webmasters help maintain the GIMP ftp mirror information, which is the same one for gtk.org. Tony Gale maintains the on-line tutorial information. Damon Chaplin maintains the RDP project and it's associated web pages. And, scoop over at freshmeat.net has been extremely helpful in providing GTK+-specific freshmeat news for our site.
