- depending on the outcome from 3. use a new repository organisation or
at least a new branch in the existing Geany repo to ensure that the existing Geany is not destabilised by major changes as they take place.
New branch is necessary -- in a separate repo or not. New repository without a new branch basically means a fork, and I guess Geany can't really afford that :)
Just to be clear, I meant another repo under the Geany organisation, since I suspect there will be more than one branch involved in getting to wherever we decide we want to end up and so it might get a bit messy if its all in the main repository. But it really depends on the what we end up deciding.

[1] Though, one could hope that structured goals could attract more contributors, since they'd have something concrete they could help build -- as opposed to the usual "pick something you care about", it'd be "there's some things to do, help if you care to".
That was indeed one of my thoughts :)
