This is an idea I have to give a try.

I like having icons in menues. Lets fix the look and feel.

python support is working, meaning we have a interpreter you can pass 
python-scripts to
execute. I used a python-script to convert some config-stuff for users 
upgrading from
0.9.10 to 0.9.11.
But you can't write "plugins" for Columba, because the plugin-framework 
is missing ;-)
Timo and me already wrote a first draft, on how we want to implement 
this. I'm going to
upload it, when I find it on my harddrive again.
