I'm not sure how current this project is anymore, during the last summer
of code another student worked on gregedit, which is part of Samba-GTK.
This seems to work reasonably well.

Are there perhaps any other projects you're interested in?

Unfortunately I don't have access to the wiki at the moment :-/ Could
somebody with access to the wiki perhaps clean out some of the obsolete
projects? 

Cheers,

Jelmer
