So I mentioned before a project called EDI and I’ve been posting some info online but I never really described it here. So – for my faithful followers – what am I up to?

In absence of other active projects (such as growing a company, establishing a software platform or maintaining apps) I decided to get back to some Enlightenment development. After around 8 years off the project a lot had changed – I was struck by how complete the EFL APIs had become but was also surprised that Linux still suffered from a lack of polished development environments.

And so I figured 3 birds with 1 stone –

1. Learn the new EFL APIs and help with some bug fixing
2. Create a slick new IDE for Linux
3. Reduce the barriers for new developers looking to create apps for Enlightenment.

By creating a native IDE application using the Enlightenment libraries we can harness their APIs and render scripts to provide a powerful integrated environment. With any luck we’ll be able to bring in various other E projects to provide graphical editing or version control etc.

I also just completed the icon for the app – see above. I think it works quite well, I hope you guys like it too…

Please stop by the planning page which is kept up to date with progress. I’ll also be posting more updates here as and when there are things to report. Hopefully there will be a great app here for everyone to enjoy soon.
