Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only

[rebecca officer]

Hi Jeremy
 
Did you consider expanding LaTeX?
 
A fully-featured reliable wysiwyg interface for LaTeX could be a strong unstructured FM alternative.
 
It's years since I used LaTeX much but I found it pretty good when I did. Not easy, but good.
 
Cheers
Rebecca

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...  ;-)
