i18n: you can have a central translation catalogue over more than one 
catalogue. Gnome is doing it. But this will need some extra toolchain 

Documentation: Have a look onto all the README and other documentations of 
plugins. plugins.geany.org is a dirty hack to get them somehow clued together 
but you can use the page to see huge difference in quality and verbosity of 
documentation at all. In addition a huge amount is just the because it's copied 
pasted. I doubt having g-p being a project just based on submodules will 
improve this if we don't activate change it. 

Please don't think as technicians hacking autotools stuff (there is a reason 
autotools is hated by everyone not infected by the Stockholm syndrom and there 
are so many attempts to make it better). Think about a user downloading the 
plugins and wants to get info how it works. Right now, I don't understand some 
plugins and how they should work even when I read code and I understand what 
they are doing on Scintilla level. IMHO we did to much fire and forget for 
convenience last years in general. I really don't care to have documentation 
splitted into another repo, because it can a sub module too on users as well as 
on developers site.
