Thanks for the answers and responses. I'm looking forward to test the
project management functionality.
Personally i think you guys should consider including the mentioned
plug-in system with 1.0 release (after everything else on the TODO list
is done) so it is a basic part of Geany.
I would vote against this. Geany already has a release plan, and I think we should stick to it. First of all, it was not the interest of the main devs to make it a complex system, at least not on
1.0. Second, it would be needed a *LOT* of hooks in the system for it to be acessible for plugins, and it is not the kind of re-engeneering I think we need while on 0.8, at least not when focusing to 1.0.
Also consider D-Bus as a
plug-ins interface as this allows more languages to be used to write
plug-ins with (any language that D-Bus got bindings for).
I never considered this as an option and then, when you mentioned it a whole lot of possibilities exploded in my mind. Thanks very much, Nexu, for you made me address a lot of stuff I had in mind for my own personal project (A game server).
As far for the magic about Python: because it's really simple to code
with as well being mature.
