Well... we've had one on the back burner for several
years now. Basically it's an Open Source GPL project,
so zero financing needed, with a very basic core and
plugins independently installable for most of the
functionality. We called it "Omni 2.0", after the
very first product I wrote, the first screen-oriented
editor ever on CP/M 1.4 on 8080 (way before WordStar).
If there really is much interest, we can set it up
as a SourceForge project pretty easily (we have a
couple of others on SourceForge). We're not set on
that name, or on much of anything else except GPL.
Greed doesn't always have to win out... ;-)
