Bug#298434: RFA: gate - A text-gatherer
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Gate is text-gatherer. A text-gatherer is like a text-editor, but much
more lightweight and unobtrusive.
If you have a program or shell script that asks people to enter a
small chunk of text, a text-gatherer like Gate is a good way to do it.
It doesn't clear the screen (annoying if there were just some
instructions printed there, or, in a conferencing system, if the
response you are responding to is displayed there). It doesn't require
you to know a lot of obscure editing commands. It doesn't make
excessive demands on the intelligence of your terminal emulation
software.
