Hi!

Good to see the list is alive! :)

Well since I've some under the hood changes to the code (although
feature wise it's the application works exactly the same) I've set up a
git repository at gitourios. 

http://gitorious.org/referencer-revive

There are files that shouldn't be there, because I messed up a little in
the beginning. First time setting up a new repo. But I think the build
is not broken. You will need a fairly recent version of gtkmm and
glibmm. To port from gnome-vfs to Gio is not ready although there are
lots of commits of that.

Well, that was also my goal at first. But once I installed referencer I
noticed it pulled deprecated libraries that are not used by most
applications shipped by modern distributions. I thought I should start
by bringing referencer to the present before doing anything else. But of
course there are things that can be improved and features added anyway.

Speaking for myself I would love to have a more experienced developer
working on this. Someone with more knowledge of Gtk/Gtkmmm would be
awesome :).

Cheers,
António Lima
