Hi John,

Well, you could write a page linked to the developer page that describes some common functions that are used in the source code of Geany :-D

Seriously, its a good idea, its called design documentation, the only problems are that doing it after the fact takes time away from the development tasks and, well, no one who knows how it works wants to do it.

The other way to get more familiar with the code is to do something with it, select something from the features tracker (or your own feature, something you are interested in, since if you are like me you won't persist if you are not interested) that can be done as a plugin. Plugins use many of the Geany functions, but they are generally better documented, see http://www.geany.org/manual/reference/

Make sure you post here what you decide to do for advice and to avoid the (very unlikely) chance of someone else doing the same thing.

Cheers

Lex

cheers John
