Re: [Geary] default tools and workflow for contributors

[Simon Bernard <contact simonbernard eu>]

Thx all, I should have guessed you use valencia :).
I'm on debian unstable (gnome 3.14) and I "try to try" valencia :p.
But I see valencia does not support gedit 3.12 and later.
I found the patch[1] for gedit 3.12, but there is API break in gedit 
3.14 too.[2]
The Gedit.Encoding problem seems really easy to fix, as we just need to 
pass null to window.create_tab_from_location
But for the new save api of GtkSourceView[3], not so easy !
