Hi Daniel, that is really great. To be honest, I put my own development ideas on hold, waiting for GTK3. I notice xournal is very much focusing around the GUI and I thought it would be not very smart to start hacking into it to do something new based on GTK2 if GTK3 is on the way.
I notice there are already a lot of branches at github now. How about the sidebar and bookmark system of your students. As I understood, this needs to be fleshed out into individual patch-sets for each feature right? Would it make sens to combine this directly with a GTK3 port of those features? There is a dual-window branch. Can you tell me a bit about it. Who is working on it?
