@Boris. A bit of context for you.

We are not that ambitious yet. It is just that our users start editing JavaScript and CSS in place and we'd like to make this experience smooth for them. No talk of editing server-side scripts or such. We leave it to you, we are debugging solution. Our priorities are:

Deployment:
- Everything is bundled with the product, nothing is served from the web
- If we decide to bundle third party code, it should be BSD. EPL is problematic.

Operation:
- Viewing of X00KLOC files
- Smooth scrolling
- Source code analysis, syntax highlighting implemented on client side
- Native selection model (including text drag'n'drop)
- support for IME

So far, editor effort is not that large (2-3KLOC), so we are playing with it locally. Integrating with backends will be interesting (i.e. pushing results of the editing into the cloud using WebDAV or similar), but not in v1.

If you are interested in contributing Orion editor into the WebKit (or providing it with appropriate license), we should definitely talk.
