Mozilla Skywriter Becomes Part of Ajax.org Cloud Editor

“The Mozilla Skywriter project is no more. It’s moving from
Mozilla, and the code is being integrated into the Ajax.org Cloud9
Editor (ACE).

“Skywriter is a Mozilla Labs project to build a Web editor for
the cloud. The project was first called Bespin, a reference to the
cloud city from Star Wars.

“Mozilla’s decision to end Skywriter as a Mozilla Labs effort
does not mean the end of development for Skywriter-based
technology, however. Still, it is indicative of a shift in focus at
Mozilla that has occurred during the past year.

“”The big change that happened is that Mozilla has said that we
need to put more oomph behind our developer tools effort and get
more things into Firefox and get more of a community built up
around building developer tools for Firefox,” Kevin Dangoor,
manager of developer tools at Mozilla, told InternetNews.com. “For
those of us working on Skywriter, that became the bigger
picture.”
