Avoid redundancy with the common-bugs.md.

The 'Do not allow incompatible plugins to be loaded' task has been
removed from the list, but a GitLab issue can be filed instead. I'm not
sure that it still applies.

This page contains the plans for major code changes we hope to get done in the
future.
Take care and fix the common bugs
---------------------------------
Status: **in progress**
See the list in the [common-bugs.md](common-bugs.md) file.
Continue to make the gedit source code more re-usable
-----------------------------------------------------
Status: **in progress** (this is an ongoing effort)
Next steps:
- Use more features from the Tepl library, and develop Tepl alongside gedit.
The goal is to reduce the amount of code in gedit, by having re-usable code
in Tepl instead.
Develop and use the [Gedit Technology](https://gedit-technology.github.io/) set
of libraries.

Use native file chooser dialog windows (GtkFileChooserNative)

Status: **in progress**
Status: **todo**
To have the native file chooser on MS Windows, and use the Flatpak portal.
Do not allow incompatible plugins to be loaded
----------------------------------------------
Status: **todo**
There are currently no checks to see if a plugin is compatible with the gedit
version. Currently enabling a plugin can make gedit to crash.
Solution: include the gedit plugin API version in the directory names where
plugins need to be installed. Better solution: see
[this libpeas feature request](https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642694#c15).
This task requires to rework the file loading and saving code. To have a
different - but still user-friendly - way to choose the character encoding and
line ending type.
Avoid the need for gedit forks
