We already roll our own: we have lilypad-macos, lilypad-windows and we still ship exactly nothing for linux (we could have the installer print a message: and now please run: apt-get install frescobaldi). Dropping these does not seem to be a viable solution, spending more time on these is also not attractive. The best thing would be to have others develop exactly what we want to ship in our installers, but I don't see that yet. > I think the answers are 1) Jedit is not very lightweight, and we want > something lightweight; and 2) Frescobaldi is specific to KDE and we want to > develop something that is cross-platform. LilyPondTool is a great and powerful tool -- but I don't think jedit is a good choice for novice users. Besides its heaviness it's a complex and featureful/scary editor and it also looks even more of an ugly monster on your desktop than openoffice does. > Is it possible to separate the KDE4 stuff from Frescobaldi, and use pygtk > instead? Perhaps we could use the same core functionality. That would be nice.
