Yay!
I know this probably wasn't the most beloved decision you took but
since you maintain most of the current plugins, this is a great step
from my POV :). really appreciated.

After thinking about it a bit more, I propose the following changes and
further steps to get this done:

Instead of moving any plugins into a 'other' directory from trunk, I
think it's the easiest way to create a new directory in trunk called
'geany-plugins' which will contain all plugins whose authors joined the
common release concept and of course the build system.
I.e. we will create the 'geany-plugins' directory and then the
plugin authors will move their own plugins into this directory to get
it part of the common release.
This way we won't break existing plugins whose authors don't want to
move on or currently can't do it (lack of time, whatever).

In short this means, all further actions on the common plugins will
happen in trunk/geany-plugins/.

If you agree so far, I will start with the conversion and create that
directory, move the spellcheck and addons into it, create the initial
po/ directory for the translations and adjust the Waf build system to
work properly. Once this is done, the other plugins authors can move
their stuff too and Chow can start working on the autotools based build
system.

Yo?

That's absolutely fine.
