It seems to be pretty good; the branches are nice and cleaned up, the tags look good, and the commit authors have the correct info to match up to their Github accounts. I don't know too much what else to look for though :) Yes, I think it's alright but the more eyes look at it, the better chance someone notices something wrong. Just for fun I tried to checkout and compile some very old versions of Geany. Until commit 3f0512 (post 0.8 commit) everything compiles and runs fine. For earlier versions you have to apply the patch from this commit - after that you can run even the very first import to the repository. And even with this old version you can say yes, this is Geany. Quite amazing that everything runs despite all the compiler and library changes during the years.

[Geany-devel] A screenplay plugin for geany
Hi All, Screenwriting is the method of writing for TV and Movies. A specific format is prescribed to write content for these mediums. Currently specialized editors are used for these. The industry standards are Final Draft [0], and Movie Magic Screenwriter[1]. These sell for hundreds of $$, and are essentially just glorified text editor + pdf converter. The best open source (kinda) editor is a bloated piece of software called celtx[2]. Another good alternative is pago, a vim script, but vim is hardly an accessible editor for average joe writer[3]. And IMO, celtx is bloated, slow, and some functionality is hidden behind a webservice. The screenplay format is as follows (http://pastebin.com/fvGk9Bew) - (read in monospace) --- screenplay specifications: ELEMENT( beginning#, ending#, total#, align, caps ) (s) SCENE HEADING ( 1170 60 Lyes ) (a) ACTION ( 1170 60 L no ) (c) CHARACTER ( 3170 40 Lyes ) (p) PARANTHETICAL ( 2655 30 L no ) (d) DIALOGUE ( 2155 35 L no ) (t) TRANSITION ( 7011 60 Ryes ) Example file.screenplay: EXT. - MENTAL FACILITY - LATE AFTERNOON-- (s) ROHIT (25) is outside, standing at ease. Hair waving in the -- light breeze on a hot afternoon. He is average build, -- (a) wearing a black suit, looking a little disheveled. He puts-- his hat on and picks up a flat stone. Rohit studies the pole and his hands. He continues walking towards the facility. :CUT TO -- (t) INTINT. - MENTAL FACILITY / RECEPTION - CONTINUOUS -- (s) ROHIT walks into the facility to the reception. A NURSE(30) sits behind the desk. Rohit looks around and spots a couple patients, and a male DOCTOR(30) walking down the corridor into the room holding five. ROHIT --- (c) (slowly) -- (p) Hi, I'm Rohit. I have an / appointment to meet one of your -- (d) patients - Manoj Chaterjee. \ --end of pastebin Commercial editors sell for 100s of dollars, when really a simple text editor will do. Infact this format has been used over the past century, and most scripts were written on typewriters. yet there does not exist a simple and good free screenwriter. Here's the help I'm looking for from the geany developers.. help write a simple plugin that assist with writing .screenplay files. This will essentially boil down to defining 6 types of texts (s/a/c/p/d/t), and making sure that when new content is added to a dialogue, it wraps at the appropriate margins. If someone who understands the geany plugin system volunteers to help, I can make myself available anytime to help (I have made some notes). This is a highly sought after functionality in the open source world, and I believe no program so far has been able to provide a good alternative to the expensive commercial solutions. If this plugin is written, it will definitely attract many (MANY!) new people to the editor. I am quite proficient in python, and if this is the language for the plugins, I can help with writing it. Beyond that I will evangelise it, (and for what it's worth, provide credits in the film I just shot :). Please let me know if you'd have any specific questions about the screenplay format. ~Anil [0] http://store.finaldraft.com/final-draft.html [1] http://www.screenplay.com/ [2] http://www.celtx.com [3] http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2447 ___ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel

This will essentially boil down to defining 6 types of texts (s/a/c/p/d/t), and making sure that when new content is added to a dialogue, it wraps at the appropriate margins. This sounds like a job for LaTeX (and LyX). If you look on Wikipedia [1], you will notice that they mention a LaTeX package called 'screenplay'. I also find a second one on CTAN [2]. You might want to investigate those and see if they can output PDF with typesetting that conform to your requirements. If so, then you will want to investigate writing a corresponding *.layout file for LyX [3], a cross-platform open-source frontend to LaTeX; this will enable you to use the LaTeX classes within a familiar, broadly MS Word-like environment but without the usual bloat. LyX already ships by default two screenplay LaTeX classes, 'hollywood' and 'broadway' (and their corresponding *.layout files); they also come with LyX examples and templates. See [4][5][6][7]. You may also want to search the LyX wiki [8] for 'screenplay'. Anyways, I'm confident that what you're looking for is LaTeX (and LyX) support for writing screenplays, and apparently you already have several solutions available. Both tools boast a widespread adoption and are free in most ways.
