You can get information from sf and live.gnome.org.

Currently only supports words completion. It supports neither python
nor C etc. We can create special providers for these languages. By
example:

GscProviderCSource: Complete C symbols, variable names etc.
GscProviderPythonSource: Complete python symbols, object methods and
fields etc.

Currently I'm trying to generate abstract providers that can work for
all files (text, source code, .po etc.)
