Ollie
The Overly Lucid Lisp Interactive Editor
Ollie has the lofty ambition of being a complete replacement for emacs and vi. It is completely modular with implementation residing in a collection of libraries. Users and third party developers are encouraged to re-write / replace / re-use the Ollie Libraries in their own projects. The Ollie philosophy is the create a core editor engine that can be embedded and re-used in multiple projects using multiple toolkits and possibly multiple languages.
Our hope is that third party developers will be able to take Ollie core library and create editor front ends for a variety of projects. Possible uses for Ollie would be
- KDevelop Integration
- Mono Develop Integration
- Eclipse Integration
- Visual Studio ?
- Others....
In addition to the Ollie library we have plans to include a fully functional standalone editor written as a KDE Kpart Component.
In short every conceivable part of Ollie will be completely modular and re-usable.
Google Code wishes
- I wish more love was given to the wiki, Media Wiki has more features and looks great
- I wish I could host my code as a 'git' repository, I don't use svn.
