I think DIDE and leds should define a common plug-in architecture - D beans, if you like - such that people can write modules for, and thereby expand, the powers of both.

I see advantages and disadvantages to open-source and closed-source, but if both have an extensible architecture, then it's win-win. If they share that architecture, it's win-win-win

Hmm cool idea!

SciTE now now supports scripting with LUA.  As soon as that is 100% I'll incoporate it.  If we could define a common interface through LUA , then that would be awesome I think.

I have no idea how it's done.
any pointers?

Ant

Maybe the Extension Interface should be refactored into something that is not quite as SciTE specific, so that other Scintilla based editors and IDEs can more easily implement the "host" side of the protocol.  Then it would be a win-win-win-win.

How's that going ?  Was / Is it very hard to integrate ?  I thought you and the team were going to bring the extensions to scintilla  , or just SciTE For now ?
