Well, I suppose I speak for several people if I say that being ParaGUI admin is
quite a lot of work if you already are engaged in another project. That is a
problem.

It is hard to disagree here. :)
I would like to add or change:
* some additional widgets as it has already been proposed several times which
could be some additional lib.
* The callback mechanism. Some signal/slot would be nice, but this imposes
a lot of problems as well, so you should propably drop this.

Many projects will have 1.<odd number> an unstable version where new interfaces
etc. are introduced and 1.<even number> a stable one where only bugs are fixed.
I would propose this policy for ParaGUI as well.
