Either you or (I guess) Chow will do it otherwise. Just talk to him, he
is the release manager for geany-plugins and also maintains the
autotools based build system.

For general SVN write access, just tell me your Sourceforge username,
then I add you to project.

Well, the initial setup might be a bit tricky:
- first of all you need Python, install it somewhere and add the path to
the global PATH environment variable so that running 'python' from the
command line interpreter will work
- then you need pkg-config working and it needs to find the installed
headers and libs of the GTK stack
- you need a geany.pc and copy it to your pkg-config installation
directory as well as the necessary header files for Geany, the easiest
way may be to simply copy these from your Linux installation

But then, 'python waf configure' in the geany-plugins directory should
work, at least it does on my system :).

Don't know, ask Chow as said above.
But you don't need to use it if you don't want to. As said earlier, the
autotools based and the Waf build systems can be used alternatively,
that is they work in parallel. Just decide for one and use it (or
even use both if you are too bored, lol).

Yes, sorry. I should have checked it before sending :).

It depends what haxe_completion() actually will do. But for now, it
should be ok.

It's up to you, whatever you like.
