Mozilla Skywriter
Mozilla Skywriter was a Mozilla Labs project aiming to create an open, extensible, and interoperable web-based framework for code editing.
As of January 2011, it has been merged into Ajax.org's Ace and Cloud9 IDE projects.
Name
The original name was a reference to Bespin, the fictional gas giant from Star Wars where "Cloud City" is located, which relates to the cloud computing nature of the project.In a time preceding the 1.0 release the name of the project was changed to Skywriter due to "many compliments and complaints" over the previous one. This new name also holds a reference to coding in a cloud environment.
Features
Skywriter encourages a more shared environment where data can be accessed from any machine. This allows developers to collaborate on projects through a unified interface accessed through a web browser, no matter where they are physically located. The application is available to anyone after free registration on the website.Skywriter currently supports syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS, PHP, Python, C#, C, Ruby, JavaScript and Wiring.
