Okay, I think the main reason it's not available is because we don't have any 
Fortran templates available to create a new project from.

The "easiest" thing to do, is probably to create a new C++ project from the 
application wizard just like normal.  Then, close Gideon, and editor your 
project's .kdevelop file.  There should be a <primarylanguage> entry, to 
which you'll want to change it to Fortran77.  This will enable fortransupport 
within Gideon; the project will still be automake based, but it will give you 
some fortran options (I assume you're using the gnu fortran compiler?).

Anyway, I hope this can get you started!

(Feel free to submit bug reports/wishlist items to http://bugs.kde.org - you 
can just categorize them as general gideon bugs, and we'll take care of 
recategorizing them).
