I've been busy too, no problem.

During the weekend, I spoke with Fabio and he also thinks that it would 
be better to provide the plugin through the click package.

I was waiting the MP to be merged, in order to start with the 
integration of poppler-qml-plugin in trunk.
To be fair, I'd need to change many parts of the application, so that I 
am able to use PageStack and have a custom app header for each type of 
content. It's very probably that Autopilot tests would have been broken 
again in the following commits.

The last time I used Python was about two years ago for some scripts: in 
the next days I'll have some spare time, so I'm available to take a look 
at the tests and fix them where needed.

As I told to Fabio, I'm also investigating on the support for searching 
text in a PDF document and enabling URL links inside the page. As for 
the plain text viewer, I was looking for some way to highlight syntax 
when a source code file is requested. Of course this has a low priority, 
anyway I've seen that the 'textDocument' property of QML TextEdit[1] 
(used for this purpose) is not exposed through Ubuntu.TextArea. It would 
be useful to have some feedback from the UITK team.

Cheers,
Stefano
