Thank, I have reviewed it and I have asked a few questions :)

I think the UI will have to be modified to be used in Anjuta, but if the 
code handling the database is separated, I think it can be used in 
Anjuta even if it's written in Python.

I think there are things more important but it's only my own idea. This 
is your project so it's up to you to decide. If you write a working todo 
list plugin, there is no reason to discard it. We had one before and as 
it's a plugin if people don't want it they can disable it.

No, I think you need to keep only one idea for GSoC application. Anyway, 
I think adding only multiple view in the document manager is something 
which is already enough for GSoC. If you do it really fast, it's quite 
easy to find additional work: other improvement on the documentation 
manager, code optimization, writing documentation...

I think the priority is to have an idea that you find interesting and 
that is well defined. If you want to work on other parts in Anjuta, you 
are more than welcome to do it after GSoC.


> Also, can you please elaborate the bugzilla integration idea a bit?

I haven't thought that much about this. I think, it would need at least 
a pane will all open bugs where you can read message and apply a patch 
with a few clocks. On the other side, it should be possible to select 
several patches and send them to bugzilla.


> And, should I start working on an application?

Sure, you have contacted us quite advance, it is a very good point but 
you have to continue.


> (That's too many questions to ask)

No problem, ask as many questions as you want, it's not limited.
