I am curious if Aeditor is working on your machine?
Do you experience problems with installation ?
Can you crash the application ?

I would like to hear your suggestions for improvements

Aeditor is a editor-widget written in Ruby. The primary
goal is to make a programmers-editor which is suitable
for pair-programming. Other important goals is:
* fully scriptable in Ruby.
* nice visual output.
* many kinds of frontends: Gtk, Qt, Ncurses.
Aeditor is a rival to scintilla. It is meant to be
embedded into other applications, eg: FreeRIDE.


Many things has been added since I released v0.1 the 1st juli 2003.
* cut/copy/paste
* auto-indent
* save
* 336 tests, 1161 assertions (43 tests added since v0.1)

Looks interesting. Did I miss the documentation somewhere? I don't
see any, other than a summary of what features Aeditor has. I'd
really like a basic tutorial, especially one that shows me how to
setup a remote pair-programming session and gives me a command "cheat
sheet".

Regards,

Dan

Well, we could be sitting across the table from each other for all I
care. It would just be a way to argue about code without having to
share the same personal space, or keyboard, or chair, or whatever.

Went fine with preview3. I think there was some kind of issue with
the nightly snapshot and "ruby install.rb install". I don't have that
system handy at the moment so I can't test - so you may wish to check.

a dual-screen setup is ok.. far distance pair-programming is more
difficult to support.

Im only interested in making local-distance pair programming easier.
Maybe when that goal is achived.. I will look at far-distance ?

Great, I use Ruby-1.8.0-preview3.. I havn't yet tried automated-cvs-compile
of the nigthly snapshot. I will fix such errors when preview4 is releashed

I use FreeBSD myself.. I have no clue if it works on: linux, osx, win ?
Which platform did you tried Aeditor on ?
