Oh, now I understand the point 'George Staikos and slave authors'
in the 2.3 features list ;-)

No, the editor is basically a version of kwrite from earlier this year
where I have added breakpoints and bookmarks. Christoph has already
merged this functionality into kate. I think any additional features
should be implemented directly in the kate part.

I had looked at using xslt for that, but given up at some point because
this language produces knots in my brain ;-) Anyway, I'm sure this is
a point where you should get in contact with Sandy (smeier@kdevelop.org).

Does that work in both directions? In KDevelop, you can add menu items
and connect them with Python functions. You can also connect to DCOP
signals (like projectOpened()). OTOH, producing a GUI from Python is
not yet possible because I couldn't get PyQt to work as a dynamically
loaded module.

I don't have either... I hope Rich comes up with something useful :-)
