This is the major advantage of re-writing things within calibre

Ah, yes... We should also give it an email client, browser, word processor, file manager and then tack some Linux stuff on it to make it boot on its own

However, we are still waiting for someone to commit to building an editor component, with or without WYSIWYG. I think that we should start with code view + preview and worry about WYSIWYG later, but that is upto whoever writes the code.

So it would be best to start out by creating a derivative of QPlainTextEdit, and then extending it, in Python? I'm willing to try it, but as I have no experience with Python, QT and Calibre, I am unable to predict how fast I will be. Very slow, no doubt, at least in the beginning.
Can I have a second instance of Calibre (copy the folder?) so I can write code for that, without crashing my normal install?
