GEdit OPI plugin

[Antoine Cailliau]

Hi,

I'm also one of the student who would like to develop a plugin for Gedit.
Our goal is not to port the Emacs plugin to Gedit, with all
functionnalities. Our goal is more to do a plugin which will be usable for
everyone. We would like to keep the plugin quiet simple and usable.

The idea, as explained by Simon, is to have a browser a bit like the console
of python plugin, simple and integrated to Gnome. I'm (really) not a big fan
of the Oz Browser, I think it is a very good browser but may be a bit too
complicated and, in a gnome environment, a bit ugly, not really integrated.

Have a nice day,

Antoine C.
