But do note that not every feature requested on github is sensible, and not every bug report is a bug, check the labels, those with "bug" or "enhancement" have at least been looked at by someone in Geany and identified as possibly useful. > > In case of any questions, don't hesitate to ask here on the list and/or > in the IRC channel on Freenode. Do make a note on github that you are working on a particular issue, and for enhancements what you are going to do, so nobody else will waste time trying to do it as well, and might even cooperate on it. > > JFTR, the wishlist on https://www.geany.org/Support/PluginWishlist is > not up to date any more, nobody maintains it.
