Thanks for the review. I will work on it. This was my first open
source contribution, I hope to get better.

I will get back to you on that.

I'd like to work on something that strongly benefits Anjuta, and not
only a fraction of users. A better Bugzilla integration would be great
to have, and I'd love to work on that instead of the todo plugin. And
this would be of more use to the users.

Okay. Please provide me with certain implementation details for having
multiple views in the document manager.

I am interested in working on something that benefits the software. I
think I'll go with working on a Bugzilla Integration feature, it
sounds fun.

Alright, thanks. I'll think about how I can implement it.

The application period starts tomorrow (ie 22nd April), and will end
on 3rd May. I am going to start working on it, and will need
everyone's help to review my application and advice me on it :)
