It may be time to start talking about Andes on the list, although  
it's vaporware to the highest degree. Hopefully, that will change  
within a few months.

The idea is to have an IDE with most everything done in Lua, but the  
GUI. It would do:
- editing of Lua sources
- automatic syncing of modifications to the target system(s)
- debugging front end

Whether execution happens on the local machine, or over the network  
(ssh,scp will be enough) does not really make a difference; one can  
think _all_ targets are remote, even the local one (= edited sources  
and those run are in different folders).

- packaging into a stand-alone installer, and/or .deb/.rpm/... package

I'll basically be grabbing good ideas shamelessly from XCode, and  
iLife, and making a cool OS X development tool that's actually  
pleasant to use.  Once the underlying Lua layer is there, the "face"  
can be coded for Win32, Gtk+ etc. as well.

That's all, but having that available would be a boost to much of the  
community, especially the embedded side (due to the remote  
debugging). And yes, it will use RemDebug. It will get binaries,  
modules etc. through LuaRocks (not really helping in module  
development, only using them). It will deal with Eclipse et.al. with  
a complete ignoration. :)  It will use stock Lua 5.1 (perhaps pushing  
it onto the target system via ssh/scp unless it's already there).

ps. ignore the donation part on the website, I don't think it's  
really going to work; unless some Big Company (hint-hint) wants to  
hire me for 12 months to make it All Come True. :/  THAT kind of  
donations are indeed welcome..
