Thomas and I are currently integrating the editor in Lenya 2.0.2-dev,
have you started with this already?
Yes, but the code is still in an early stage of development.
IIUC your developements have not been committed to the ASF SVN repo, but
kept privately by you, right?
Yes, this is correct.
Is the protocol pure Atom or does it have custom extensions?
It has editor-specific extensions.
are these public?
If either the editor or the server-side integration code will be
released as open source, the complete communication protocol will
available. If the Lenya module will be released as open source, I'll be
happy to document the protocol.
For the sake of Open Source I would suggest that you publish the
protocol if it has custom extensions and discuss this with the
community first.
The ownership of the code belongs to the Uniklinikum Freiburg. IIUC
they will probably donate the server-side code to the Lenya project,
which IMO is a very kind move.
it's always nice if somebody wants to contribute code, but IIUC it's not
clear yet, right?
I'll discuss this with the involved parties.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's great if new alternatives are being
integrated, but DO it transparently (which I don't see at the moment)
and otherwise do it as a private custom module.
We're not trying to establish a standard protocol, but integrate a
particular editor. The decision to keep it similar to Atom has
practical reasons.
This is not a community project, but a client project. Discussing the
details in public wouldn't allow us to meet our deadlines
I think that's a very bad excuse. Discussing/listening is NOT the same
as deciding! So, you can only profit from the community and don't have
to worry.
Well, in my experience, discussing something like a protocol in public
takes quite a lot of time (at least if people participate in the
discussion).

If you're concerned that the code won't be maintained if it is not a
community effort: I think that this probability is virtually
neglegible since the editor will be used with Lenya 2.0 by the
Uniklinikum and (if the code will be donated) by the BeCompany. Apart
from my personal commitment to the Lenya project,
it happened many times that active developers/companies stopped
contributing, which isn't bad, but it's a fact.
The only way to guarantee support is to make stuff transparent such that
others are able to continue.
If the sources will be available, the code will be transparent.
