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...  ;-)
