Powerful ebook editor Sigil moved to new development area, looking for code contributions and active participation
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
Sigil is a free open-source WYSIWYG ebook editor, permitting an advanced ebook editing via a filled-with-controls yet intuitive interface.
|
|
|
|
Among its features, Sigil comes with:
|
|
|
|
- multiple views (book, code, preview)
|
|
- full UTF-16 support
|
|
- ability to directly edit book syntax
|
|
- table-of-contents creator with multi-level heading support
|
|
- more than 200 available entries in its metadata editor
|
|
- spell checking
|
|
- support for find & replace
|
|
|
|
essentially, a significant amount of features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yet, it seems that presently Sigil is traversing an unfortunate road, namely, its lack of code participation and involvement.
|
|
|
|
Today, the main Sigil maintainer [announced](http://sigildev.blogspot.ro/2013/09/sigil-status.html) that Sigil "has zero outside contributors as of now", being "on life support" due to inexistent participation to the project.
|
|
|
|
As a consequence, the developer has moved the development of Sigil on GitHub (from the now-old Google Code), hoping that the new development area,--GitHub--, will attract new interested developers willing to contribute code to the powerful ebook editor, "to help with gaining contributors I've decided to move the project to GitHub".
|
|
|
|
The new open-for-participation location is available on [https://github.com/user-none/Sigil](https://github.com/user-none/Sigil)
|
|
|
|
"That's pretty much where Sigil is a this point. I can't say where it will go in the future but my hope is more people will contribute with the move to GitHub and Sigil will continue to grow".
