as I wrote on IRC I'd like to see the Valgrind plugin rewritten in 
python: it has many more functions to deal with text parsing than C and 
it's usage is easier.

for many reasons that I won't report here (mainly details, but that 
matter) I'd like to see Scintilla live within Anjuta (or Anjuta-extras).
As the author says he won't (full) concentrate on gtk+3 untill it's 
released. So it's a matter of months, maybe.
We will have hopefully support for gtk+3 on next cycle.


thanks and regards,
