I like the current KDevelop 2.x stuff very much (because it WORKS (mostly=
) and=20
compiles here) and therefor would vote for making the current=20
KDEVELOP_2_BRANCH the new HEAD. Gideon is a nice "framework" but seems to=
 be=20
far from completion or even a stage where you can actually do something=20
usable with it (and that didn't change since more than a half year). The=20
original creator of the HEAD stuff (I think Bernd was it or ?) seems to h=
ave=20
left the stuff laying around half working and to get the stuff into a usa=
ble=20
scheme a big rework (like mhk wants to do it and has started to do it) wo=
uld=20
be needed. But why put that much work into a new but broken thingy and no=
t=20
put the work into moving parts of the good ideas from gideon to the worki=
ng=20
kdevelop 2.x stuff ? The parts idea behind gideon is the great thing of i=
t=20
and with a bit work (as robe has shown) we can adapt that for 2.x.=20
KTextEditor for 2.x is in a reachable near as the kate interfaces differ =
not=20
much from plain ktexteditor (some stuff is perhaps missing, but that=20
interfaces we could add for kde 3.1 to the libs).

As I am not a real kdeveloper my opinion should be seen as the opinion of=
 a=20
user/external dev ;) and it would be: tag the current head as GIDEON_BRAN=
CH,=20
move the KDEVELOP_2_BRANCH to head and steal interesting parts/interfaces=
=20
from gideon for kdevelop.
