We already have a working code, but it's also not complete. It's also not a 
shared lib or something, so there's a lot effort yet to be paid there. Still, 
having one completed git integration code would be really beneficial.

I thought about this as well. Eclipse has something like this, but they have 
their own "vcs" implementation. We could get away with git. Say, we can always 
create a repository every time somebody creates a project. We can silently 
commit changes every time user saves the document and so forth.

Yeah :) There are already ~3 years of work behind the duchain and language 
support infrastructure in KDevelop. I really doubt any other open source 
project can easily repeat this.

Having said that, most of the time we focused on general infrastructure and 
C++. Ruby is working but is really rudimentary. Python was a subject of GSoC 
project and we got a good implementation, but it's largely unmaintained now. I 
plan to push Ruby during our KDevelop Team meeting in April. Python needs 
somebody to pick it up.


PS: in any case, any of these (git, language support) will matter for you 
after you have other more important stuff implemented for PlasMate, so just 
keep in touch with us for now ;)
