As long as it's clear that Anjuta2 will never replace Anjuta1 (by a
change of name for one) the harm is less. That way a person can at least
choose which program he think has the most potential.

Yeah, this woubld be ideal. 

Are there a list of things that needs to be done (like hacking on this
patch for Glade3) somewhere? And other things that are planned for
Anjuta1 but not done yet?

I tried out Anjuta1 (gnome2 port) yesterday and I was really impressed.
It has come a long way since last time I saw it and until told otherwise
that is where I'm going to direct people that I hear asking which
project to put there efforts on of the two. I think it has less amount
of work to be a kick ass IDE that we so badly need.
