There's the status page on www.debian.org:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/gtk-frontend
The source for the installer is in the subversion repository:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/svn
The source for the GTK frontend to (c)debconf is in the directory:
packages/cdebconf/src/modules/frontend/gtk/
I guess it's best to dig into the installer first before you are
able to relly help with the GTK frontend, though.

Joey
