I think it's OK with closed source in a standardized plugin framework. Keeps
all the add-ons in plugins instead of different 'forks' of the source. Also
less discussion :-)

SynEdit? Works very well (at least for me), and is easy to use.

You're welcome to the source if you want - it's old, and I don't have much
time for it. My Delphi port of LdLite is very old, and leaking, perhaps you
can fix it :-)

Don't forget plugins for load/save, so we can put converters right into
LDDP!

For preview, the polling mode of the renderers should work good enough,
maybe? Of course, I've been advocating a rendering .dll a long time, but
we're not there yet...

There's also the 'problem' of non-Windows systems :-)

Hi! I am thinking of making LDDP open source. The reason I did not so far is that I am using a commercial component for the highlighting editor part. Still i will try to change it to a component you can find in the Jedi VCL that is open source too. (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
