    Mozilla Skywriter (formerly Bespin[2]) 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.[3]

    Name

    [edit | edit source]

    The original name was a reference to Bespin, the fictional gas giant from Star Wars where "Cloud City" is located,[4] 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.[2]

    Features

    [edit | edit source]

    Skywriter encourages a more shared environment where data can be accessed from any machine.[5] This allows developers to collaborate on projects through a unified interface accessed through a web browser, no matter where they are physically located.[6] The application is available to anyone after free registration on the website.[7]

    Skywriter currently supports syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS, PHP, Python, C#, C, Ruby, JavaScript and Wiring (used by the Arduino platform).[8]
