I'm wondering if anyone here would like to take over development of Gned 
since I'm no longer interested in using Java as one of my main 
programming languages at the time, its fairly simple and straightforward 
and I personally think I did a good job keeping the code nearly 
organized and clean.

I had lots of fun actually working on the program, I learned a lot from 
debugging it and in the end I think it turned out to be a fairly decent 
little editor even if there it doesn't have as many features as most 
editors and even lacks some Windows Notepad has. I would like to see 
someone decide they want to continue working on the program even if its 
just for experimentation or, like myself at the time I wrote it, to get 
better with Java. If someone more experienced or more motivated then 
myself were to give it a try they could probably add syntax highlighting 
and give the editor a real fighting chance at least as far as simple 
Windows editors go. I'd be more then happy to continue contributing code 
for the editor from time to time over the next few months or perhaps 
even years depending on how long I can remember Java for :-) but I don't 
have time to make it one of my main applications now that I'm moving on 
to other programming languages.

Let me know if you are interested, I'll send you a copy of all the 
versions of Gned that I still have going as far back as before 1.0 if I 
didn't lose any more versions of it, in one of them a major chunk of the 
files were gone so I backported them from the next version up, this may 
cause some inconsistency but that was with with one of the 1.2.x 
versions so it shouldn't matter much anyway. I also had a list of bugs 
found in each version and I'd be glad to include if it I still have it 
along with freshly made JavaDocs for version 1.4.1 available on request.

If anyone here is interested you can either reply to me on the list or 
e-mail me personally if you prefer.
