or, "how to get it completely wrong". it's a bit surprising that a site called "pcadvisor" wouldn't know about google's code hosting program...

either that, or valloric is now a millionaire and just forgot to tell us.

Not a bad article, but the software isn't "Google Sigil". Google is simply hosting the project like they do with a bunch of other software projects. Google didn't develop Sigil.

yep, i just posted a comment to say the same thing, and saw his just after. (i'm still stuck with my neighbor's slooooow wifi connection, so the page hadn't fully loaded before. ) you'd think they would have corrected that since then, sheesh !

Yeah, I guess it could. But I've heard this "Google made Sigil" comment a ridiculous number of times and while I found it amusing the first, second, third... tenth time I heard it, now it's frankly starting to piss me off.
