ActiveState, creators of the popular Komodo IDE announced the creation of the Open Komodo Project. According to the press release,
Open Komodo will use the Mozilla code base and feature a Scintilla-based editor for HTML, CSS, XML, and JavaScript. The planned feature set includes JavaScript debugging, autocomplete, syntax coloring, and syntax checking capabilities, as well as Firebug integration and an HTTP Inspector with the goal of providing seamless debugging and editing between Open Komodo and Firefox.
ActiveState will also open up the source code for Komodo Edit:
As a first step in the Open Komodo project, ActiveState is open sourcing the browser-side capabilities of Komodo Edit, a free multi-language editor for dynamic languages based on Komodo IDE. This will form the base for the full-featured web development tool built in collaboration with the open source community.
