Oly :
If your geany-project-manager has its own 'tree-view' (as in the screen-shot), then that may be perfect for me to tinker with ...
The browser & database stuff (while very interesting) isn't on my critical list : All the same, could you do a push of your latest code (assuming that it least doesn't crash!).
Then I can have a nose around the side-bar stuff (and still stay close enough to your code to enable a re-merge later, if it makes sense).
On the packaging side, it would be great to have the incentive of getting something onto the standard packaging system, since then it becomes a simpler (more incremental) task to 'stay current' with geany, and not get left behind (as happened with my previous SciTE dependency).
