Not much for docs for gnome-vfs, that has been one of my slow-downs.
Luckily there is a lot of good code out there to be used as an example.

It's up to the project maintainer, Paolo. I imagine when the code hits a
level of maturity on par with gedit he'll be happy to include it. For
now and for it's initial release I think I'll just host it and manage
patches, etc, using bazaar-ng. As I said in my original post this is a
new type of project for me so it is going to be a little slow because I
want it done right. If when there is an initial release some developer
with more time and backing wants to run the project I may turn it over
to them. But that seems like a big if.
