Re: Gedit docs update

[Paul Weaver <ch3pjw bath ac uk>]

Hi Jim,

I'm ok with gedit and git, and I've pulled the current sources and had a
look at the current help docs. The libraries on my Fedora 15 install
aren't up-to-date enough to compile the source sadly, but I can install
all the plugins you list from the Fedora repos. Therefore, if no major
changes have been made since gedit version 3.0.6, I can go ahead and
start writing some stuff.

I'll stick with the current format of the docs and try to match the
writing style as best I can. Should be able to start in earnest
tomorrow.

Regards,
Paul Weaver
