How about BEdita 3?
Mmmhh sorry… a friend of mine just made me notice you published a full article on BEdita 3!
Croogo looks pretty good and the project’s site and the development that I have seen so far is quite good. I have tried it locally and like it and will be watching its development. I have also realized that the project owner/coder Fahad started using lighthouseapp for tickets and has been pretty active. Looking forward to more development.
