Sounds like you are looking for development help?  I might be interested in helping.  Let me know what you are doing and I'll let you know if I have experience in that area.

I'm CC'ing gnome-devel-list in the hope that someone might want to help out.

Joe,
 Since I moved to Linux I've been missing a lot of development tools. I read
 what you said about MSVC and it hits the spot. With all the development
 efforts that are going on, there is no rock solid good IDE that addresses
 development needs. The MSVC editor was wonderfull, the debugger was very
 informative and easy to use, etc.. etc..  And MSDN is unheard of. Even the
 unfinished efforts to create such tools came from a UNIX background which
 makes things even more alian. The idea is to harnes the experties of Win32
 developers to advance Gnome even more. I was very impressed with KDevelop,
 it even has a built in help system like MSVC 5.0. But that's KDE.

So here is what I'm up to. At work, we do lot's of web development (ASP,SQL,yadda
 yadda). So my initial IDE effort went to web development (InterDev-like)
 so I can get to use it as my dev interface at work. With Scintilla as an
 editing component there is not limit to the type of development you can
 do (IBM's SashXB is using it also). Here is a screen shot of what I'm working
 on now

BitLeaf currently has multi-document editing and customizable syntax hilighting.
 I intend to use transport modules that take care of saving/opening/etc..
 so you can save to a source control transport and it will check the file
 in for example. Or to a web transport and it would upload the file to a
 web server. I make heavy use of gnome-xml simply because it's easy to work
 with tree data structures. 

I've set up a web server running BitBuilder.com with PHP, CVS, and Mailman.
 I'd like to host other projects since there is space and it's an open resource.
 So am I looking for development help? Heck Yeah! Gnome gave Linux a desktop,
 now I want to give it Visual Studio.

Joe, if you don't mind, this email explains so much about what I'm doing I would like to use the text above on the site :)

Take care dude,
