gSourceEdit Alpha 2 on its way

Well I've finally started to get some where with gSE. I completely rewrote it from the ground up in python and got rid of glade. I also got a pretty nice plugin system and API going that will make it fairly easy to extend the program. But the point is, the next alpha is probably on its way soon. The current SVN builds all run fine. Although I am still waiting until I get around to adding some more missing features before I make an actual release. I've got an updated screen shot on the project page which can be found here. Check it out and send me some feedback if you'd like, just use the sourceforge contact page.

MadBB API Rewritten

I know I haven't been posting anything in a long while but I thought I might put this out there. A little while ago I had taken a look at the current MadBB API and easily saw that it was a complete mess. And if want people to be using this API later on for plugins or modules or whatever, then it desperately needed to be fixed now. So I had spent a few days changing everything and making the API easier to understand and use. As a result, I'd also improved a lot of things, including how MadBB handles variables in templates and how it renders templates and so forth. So whenever I get around to it, I will need to fix many of the current front end pages because of the changes to the API. So currently and for a month or so now, the SVN code did not work, so I'll be getting around to fixing that some time soon.
