[Geany-devel] Developing database query plugin

[Mike Thorn]

Hello all:

I'm working on a database query plugin written in Vala and have a couple 
of questions regarding the general process of working with the geany 
community.

First, when is the right time to request that my plugin be added to the 
geany-plugins repo? My general principle as a developer has always been 
to start using VC from the start, but maybe you don't want half finished 
plugins in your repo.

Second, is there anyone interested in assisting me in working on this? 
I'm fairly new to GTK/Vala, but not to programming.  I've got the plugin 
loading up a new window, connecting to a database and executing queries, 
and very nearly displaying the data, but I've got a lot of questions 
that I don't have the answers to, such as:
* What's the best way to make this plugin connect to different 
databases? Right now it's working with postgresql only
* What's the best way to store the database config? Ideally I'd want the 
option to store the connection information in the project data.

Thanks for your time.
