hmm... I'd like to finalize the API first. It still needs some love.

You could start to work on a new branch (of glimmer).

You can see my code on CVS. I have started writing the new parser but it
still isn't complete.
I'm not very happy when the API of GtkSourceLanguage and
GtkSourceTagStyle since it does not manage objects life cycle in a sane
way. I'm going to modify it adding a GtkSourceLanguagesManager class
that will have the responsibility the GtkSourceLanguage objects life
cycle.

- the undo manager must be fixed (i.e. synchronized with the gedit's
one)
- the markers stuff has still to be reviewed
- I'd like to move some code from GeditView to GtkSourceView
- the glimmer's .lang files should be ported to the new format
- adding support for style themes (it is really needed? You have it in
glimmer)

Yes, we could try to move it to gtksourceview.
The gedit printing code is quite good but it has bugs with non latin
language (but we could fix it later) and, clearly, it does not support
syntax highlighting.

Ciao,
