Just wanted to give this a shot and offer what I can. Why not add it
to gedit/plugins in CVS and not include it in the default build ? (a
simple --enable-filebrowse flag) It increases the likely hood of
feedback exponentially, and as it is a feature in relatively high
demand, I wouldn't be surprised if you get someone from ubuntu or one
of those projects kicking back a little (in a positive sense).
It's up to the project maintainer, Paolo. I imagine when the code hits a
level of maturity on par with gedit he'll be happy to include it. For
now and for it's initial release I think I'll just host it and manage
patches, etc, using bazaar-ng. As I said in my original post this is a
new type of project for me so it is going to be a little slow because I
want it done right. If when there is an initial release some developer
with more time and backing wants to run the project I may turn it over
to them. But that seems like a big if.
