[IronPython] [Ironruby-core] DLR IDE

[Stefan Dobrev]

Hi Benn,

I haven't created the codeplex project to start coding ASAP. My idea was to
use the codeplex wiki to gather requirements for what a good DLR IDE (name
it editor if you like). Actually I have first created a pbwiki for this, but
then realized that codeplex's wiki can be used as well, so no need to have
two different places for information about the same project.

My idea about the project is have something similar to TextMate, but web
based. Naming it IDE doesn't imply that it should be huge as VS, does it? I
just find it more funny and easy to pronanunce dlride (DLR IDE) that can
pronanunce (D L ride) - saying that your are riding (on) dynamic languges.

I don't want this to be my IDE. I just want it to be ours - from the
community to the community. That's it.

Have fun,
Stefan
