Method anchors When I browse a java file it gives me the parsed index on the left..this is nice, but the URL encodes the line # (http://code:9999/java/...aspx?s=vals#L36). This is inherently brittle as the code changes, and discourages hyperlinking. Having the anchor contain signature, a la javadoc HTML, would be more robust. URL might be something like (http://code:9999/java/...aspx?s=vals#MyMethod (String))

Surface Source Control URLs If I am browsing the code, I’d like to be able to get the SCM url easily.. say I wanted to checkout that directory to my disk, or link someone to the file. There should be an easy way to do this..ideally it’d be in an easy to parse object so an interesting greasemonkey script could work with it.

More Transparent URL’s I can understand the rationale behind GUID’s, but how about supporting http://code:9999/http://mysvnserver/myproject/trunk/main.java? (where code:9999 is the Pro server) The server would be responsible for matching it up to a object in koders. This would allow programatic URL generation for all sorts of interesting applications.
