A common roadmap

[jbb]

Hi,

Like Roland, I thought that gideon was "not there". Yesterday, I finished 
compiling the latest gideon and gave it a bit of a spin. It is _much_ further 
along that these conversations suggest. There are a lot of rough spots, but 
it's almost in a position that it could be used as an ide to develop itself, 
and in some areas it is much further along that kdevelop2.

Matthias, the UI you have just committed is interesting. Overall, I like it. I 
don't like the way the expanded tabs hide the editor. Is that deliberate or a 
work in progress?

I don't think there is a common roadmap. As I've said before there are two 
streams of development, the stable kdevelop 2 branch and the experimental 
gideon branch. All we need to decide is what should be in the HEAD and what 
in a branch. To keep people happy lets change HEAD to be kdevelop2 and put 
gideon on a branch.

Roland, you keep pushing for kdevelop2 as the only version. There is more that 
one way to do an ide, so please stop doing this. Your roadmap is a good plan 
for the kdevelop2 branch only. For the gideon branch the ui and usability 
issues need to be addressed.

My opinion is that if the developers started looking into gideon and fixed 
things rather than agrue then we would have a very good multi-language ide 
quite quickly. And on that note I'll better go see what I can do about 
getting the debugger to work nicely in gideon this weekend.

Have fun,
