We are aware of the .NET version and UCL's corresponding Java project.  
Both those projects are used for inspiration and ideas. The students are  
allowed to use whatever they find useful in those projects.

In our computer science master projects there must be a substantial design  
phase, so mainly implementing systems designed by others is not enough,  
they have to design large parts themselves. I believe their final product  
will reuse ideas from the existing editors but it will probably also  
contain new features and alternative ways of preforming archetype design  
tasks.

Their plan is to use the Java based parser from the start. (That has the  
additional benefit of avoiding platform dependendency)

By the way, are there any important features missing in the Java based  
parser that are available in the .NET version? If so, are they hard to fix?

Great, thanks! I'm sure they will find it useful. Is the portal solution  
Open Source?
