Hi,

Wow, so much thoughts, thank you guys for thinking about improving

I agree, that the target group are more experienced users(but not all)
and so the dialog is not that bad. I don't like the idea of the ping
very much, then we get mailings like "Geany hangs on startup".
By the way, the fact that an IDE is mostly used by programmers is so
nice for us, I noticed it from the beginning, nearly every bug report
was more detailed and descriptive than I ever expected it.
This is so cool ;-).

This idea i like very much and I think this is the way it will be.


Again by the way: Alexandre, can you tell us something about your
mentioned game server project? I'm curious about it.
