Hi Giacomo, well, first of all, thank you :) It is hard to specify how much time was needed to get me into this point... The idea started floating my mind around 4 years ago, then i came across Bespin (which is Ace's predecessor, made by the Mozilla foundation) and started messing around with it, trying to see how it would integrate with Plone like 2 years ago... Bespin wasn't good enough, it was pretty slow, and you didn't even need to open really big files. So i just left it there. Then Ace came along, and to give it a try, i replaced Bespin with it, and was really amazed by the speed it had, even opening files with more than 10k Lines... that was february or march i think. And then i started adding features, and here we are :P About going to a beta stage, well, i'm doing this almost entirely in my spare time, which is not a lot unfortunately... so i really don't know in time. I would consider this to be in beta, when the IDE is stable enough, so developers won't loose their work if something goes wrong. For example, right now, if you have unsaved work and you go to another URL, you loose your changes... stuff like that, that will make someone hate it so much, it will never use it again... If i can manage to get a couple of you folks interested, and can contribute with the project, then i think we could have a usable product soon... Kind regards, Franco _______________________________________________ Product-Developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/plone-product-developers
