Talk:NEdit
Script error: No such module "Banner shell".
(random heading)
When the category "Free Linux Software" was deleted this page was automatically removed from it, fair enough. But why didn't the bot add it to the category "Free Software" when it wasn't there? This is kind of important for Nedit, because it was under a restrictive licence many years ago, and many in the linux community still believe that it is non-free.
- Could someone explain the licensing issues? The site appears to be down. According to the man page for this Debian Nedit package, it appears to be GPLed with an exception for linking to Motif. Twinxor t 10:01, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
The development of nedit seems dead. No updates in over a year. Such a shame cause Nedit was starting to become a very nice editor.
- It's not dead, please see the mailing list, all activity is there: http://www.nedit.org/pipermail/develop/. Hopefully we will see NEdit 5.6 soon. Enerjazzer (talk) 18:22, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
- Development continues for Nedit, quite a bit of work in the past month alone: http://www.nedit.org/pipermail/develop/2006-November/date.html
- The domain hasn't been renewed, was due 22 October 2010. The Niki (nedit wiki) is still up though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgbreezer (talk • contribs) 15:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
There are trickle updates to the nedit repository, last was in April 11. They are looking for new hosting, so its not dead yet, thank goodness, as its very useful for me. Vicarage (talk) 08:20, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
- Is it dead now? http://www.nedit.org is abandoned! "nedit-5.5" is good enough (for the time being) but it apparently does not have a download site!
More needed
More needed here - this is an old text editor, extraordinarily very well documented, and pretty mature. It's hangable, as all old mastodon editors, and extremely adaptable to various markups and proglani. It's a pity it can only handle 8bit characters (non-wide) AFAIK. I'll add this to my watch list in order to improve. Said: Rursus (☻) 10:36, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Additional Information
Nedit has their own wiki for additional information. http://nedit.hackvalue.nl/niki/index.php/Main_Page
One of the nicer parts is: Customising Nedit: http://nedit.hackvalue.nl/niki/index.php/Customizing_NEdit
Improving the look of Motif on Nedit: http://nedit.hackvalue.nl/niki/index.php/Look_Tuning
Perhaps this editor may no longer be hangable; or time to the gallows is in the process of being appealed (stay of execution, literally). Any word from the Governor? No cracks about vi/vim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.7.187 (talk) 01:08, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Change development status.
How is a project that had a release 3 months ago "inactive"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.233.212.35 (talk) 17:54, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Forks
Original NEdit is still maintained at https://sourceforge.net/p/nedit/
There are also forks:
- XNEdit supports anti-aliased fonts and character encodings beyond Latin-1, including UTF-8.
- NEdit-ng is a port to C++ and the Qt GUI framework.

Why is nedit-ng not mentioned in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.114.153.144 (talk) 21:21, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
