Nicolas,
Just to offer you an alternative, scintilla is an upstream project of Geany--what I mean is, scintilla is the--well, microsoft would call it the control, in Linux I guess you'd call it the editing widgit--it's the main GUI (I think) that Geany uses for editing.
I'm trying to write a lexer / folder for scintilla for the family of markup languages including TWiki, Foswiki, and askRhk (my own variations on TWiki). A lexer/folder is the thing that highlights syntax and allows folding for a given language (like C, C++, HTML, ...).
If such a lexer/folder is written for scintilla, it is a small effort (and the "normal" thing to happen) to add it to Geany.
If you'd like to help with that effort, I could surely use the help. ;-)
If you want me to give you some example tasks and tell you about my progress to date, let me know.
(My problem is that I am not a C/C++ programmer, thus things are coming very slow.)

I don't have a big professional experience, I am currently doing my final internship at the CNES (The french national space agency) My biggest project is a x86 operating system that I am currently developping with four of my friends (Quite useless project, but very didactic!). For every project I worked on, Geany has been my best friend (errr that sounds nerd), and now I would like to get involved on this project.
I hope that I will find some task to work on with you, bug correction, making coffee, ventilating, anything!
PS: I try to do my best to avoid english writting mistakes, but feel free to correct me if necessary ;)
