When everyone is after the cloud buzz word why not Mozilla too ? no wait, you are mistaken. Mozilla labs is not talking about the ubiquitos cloud computing here but they refering to the fictional city mentioned in Star Wars. Anyway 🙂
Bespin is an online editor with collaborative features and a sleek interface with emacs, vi code bindings. And it is much similar to CodePad.org
The project page says: Bespin is a Mozilla Labs experiment on how to build an extensible Web code editor using HTML 5 technology.
Signing for an accout was quick and then I could import the http://sparksupport.com project which we are undertaking now. But when I tried to preview the simplest PHP pages I got error 500 the internal server error from the bespin webserver. So the product is in absolute beta and now I expect more changes in the future. Good work guys and way to go!
Some screen shots are attached below:
error 500 shown by Bespin server when asked to process and PHP file
When asked show the preview of the PHP file, the Bespin server fails. May be I was not supposed to ask Bespin to run a PHP script ?
Wish List:
The CLI should be made context sensitive ie
prject project_name should change the context to project_name and after that
open file_name should open a file in the context project_name etc
Basically the Cisco / Alcatel-Lucent router CLI syntax.
more to follow 🙂
