Hi,

During the last weeks a huge number mails at this list was stating to
make usage of GObject on building up a new plugin interface. It has been
talked about libpeas and adding support for Vala, Python etc. Before we
do discuss any further I'd like to point to an email Enrico sent
earlier this year onto this list:
http://lists.uvena.de/geany-devel/2011-February/003905.html
Originally Geany wasn't designed/coded to work with GObject. Moving to
an plugin interface using this would most likely cause rewriting of a
lot of code. However, if really somebody of you like to go this
further I suggest to start a new branch where all changes can be
tracked in.
But before we can discuss about the positive/negativ points I just
want to ask who likes to take over this task as a kind of lead
engineer and project manager to be the lead here having in mind it will
most likely not a 5-minute-task?
What's the outcome here? I saw a lot of technical discussion followed up
by my original posting but nobody took over the rule to bring all the
idea into synch. Not sure whether I might did miss something.
I had offered to work on this, but I wanted to make sure someone would
be willing to review/commit all the changes, the responses were:
From Lex:
"I currently have a looong commute where I can't actually code or
compile or test things (my tablet is just not suited), but I can
review and discuss things by the magic of wifi."
From Colomban:
"However, even though I like the idea of creating this new plugin API
supporting other languages, I will not tell I'll help a lot because I'm
really not sure of the amount of time I could spend on it. However, I'd
be happy to help from time to time, when I can :)"
In another thread from you:
"And as I mentioned according to plugin interface discussion, I like to
have it this way for enabling GObject fun: I want to have someone with
experince managing this kind of stuff."
Nothing from Enrico, Nick or other core developers with commit access.
So I pretty much decided I would be wasting my time on this if the code
won't get committed and the core developers aren't even very much
interested in this.
Cheers,
Matthew Brush
