I was going to geany.uvena.de and as odd as it may seem, now
everything is working ... perhaps it was a temporary failure somewhere
on the way from my network to yours... :) everything up and running.

I used the list archives to familiarize a little more with the project
after sending you the message and got really interested in the idea of
a Extension framework to this software (which seems to be great, I'm
compiling it right now).

Please keep in mind that I understand (and agree) with your decision
to keep the software on the path that is has defined to 1.0, I just
would like to add some concepts to be kept in record when the
Extension stuff comes to mind once again.

I've been using some extensions framework for a while and I would say
that the simpler approach if you guys try to use scripting language
extensions would be to just make Geany know about the most basic one
(.so plugin files) and then write a plugin to manage, say, python or
TCL.

and regarding the gdb stuff I think we could only think of an
interface where we could call a debugger front-end (much like the way
people are doing in Thunar (as in Xfce file manager) archiver
interface) with parameters like variables to watch, breakpoints and
executable. so Geany itself would not need to learn much about
debuggers... it would delegate the work to an (hopefully well
integrated)  other application.

well... all of this is just a bunch of ideas. now I'm gonna use the software :)

For all I have seen until now: Great work guys.
