Hi Sylvain

You have contact me about lepido before initial base code donation.
Unfortunately i was not able to find time and skills  i want to help
this project, but i can say that two of lepido's components,
FormEditor and SitemapEditor was stable enough and very useful.

The problem with many projects is that a very optimistic vision drive
to a big collection of features and a huge project plan [1].

Instead of that lepido could became a small tool that help people to
edit forms and sitemap. How far is lepido to be released with only
this two features?

Furthermore, if people want, can write more plugins and extend it

Is it possible or not?

Absolutely not.

As the (unfortunate) founder of Lepido, I can say that there has never
been any relation between Lepido and MyEclipse. Furthermore Lepido, as
an opensource project, cannot be "acquired" by a company.

Lepido did not attracted the community that would have allowed it to
grow, and the company that donated the initial code base could not
invest in its development.

Since nothing had changed for many months, the Lepido has recently been
archived and closed. This is the normal process at Eclipse for dormant
projects. The source code and archives of the mailing-lists are however
still available [1] for anybody that want to look at it and revive the
project.
