Tentative Plan
1.0 themes: "maintain existing project", "getting C/C++ GNOME projects working"
1.0 audience: existing maintainers
Work being done by core CDT people: indexer, model, other languages. We may need to monitor this work, provide input as necessary, and clean up our own code to match the work being done.

-
outline view - folding
- advanced completion
- hover on re-entering macro param area
-
"advanced" error parsing

- bug fixes
- performance
- automake editor (Andrew)
- bug fixes
- performance
- tests
- lots of them
0.1 targets (9 March 2007)
- autoconf editor (Jeff)
- bug fixes
- performance
- automake editor (Andrew)
- bug fixes
- performance
- tests
- lots of them
- any work necessary to make GNOME checkouts "just work" (Ben)
- any bug fixes for hoverhelp for GNOME libs
0.1 targets (6 April 2007)
- full autoconf editor (Jeff)
- full automake editor (Andrew)
Post-0.1
- partial make
- calculating make arguments at various levels in tree and being able to invoke make starting anywhere (very useful for large projects where changes are made many levels down from the top)
- advanced preferences
- e.g. options for running aclocal on a particular acinclude.m4 file vs a global default option
- new project wizards
- automake
- autoconf
- wizards for common tasks
- add configure option and corresponding conditional compilation
- tie together editors
- ex. error on @blah@ in Makefile.am if @blah@ not AC_SUBST'd in configure.ac
- will need to know relative locations of corresponding files or find them
- new source -> Makefile.am target?
- perhaps some sort of "Add sources to Makefile targets" action
- form-based editors
- mockup:
- mockup:
- integration with some sort of shell editor for shell sections of files
- GNOME-specific work like checkouts "just work"; hover help and help system
