Howdy, If you are looking into leveraging the capabilities of existing projects, you might want to take a peek at Leo. http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/front.html
Leo started life as an outlining editor, is brilliant at that, but outlining has become the tip of an iceberg. It is easy to extend Leo in any direction with plugins. It is a wonderful environment for Python coding. Under heavy development, the discussion forums http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=3458 give some idea of the breadth and depth of what is being done with Leo.
