I'd recommend you to mature more your idea. I'm not very fond of having features targeting newbies, I would prefer simplify spots on the IDE overall than dumbing down some of it.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Maybe a question to ask yourself is why is it needed at all to use this at all. Maybe it should be easier to create a new project? What would you fix in the process?</div>
