That is the crux of the issue for user none. He does have full time job writing payment system software, and Sigil got to be just too much. It appears he was willing to do people a favor, but not give up everything else in his life in the bargain.
I think the key is for our "white knight" to find some software already out there that will handle 70% of the job, so it isn't necessary to re-invent everything in the editor. It would only be necessary to trim and tuck here and there on the editor and add particular epub features and necessities.
If something like that can be found, it would reduce development and support time. It is the follow up and support that is the crux of the issue. For editing epub2, we can live with existing Sigil. As little as some of us like it, epub3 will be a larger and larger issue as time goes by and this version ought to handle epub3 and epub2 both without requiring a total rewrite.
