Bug#323679: O: xed -- The standard text editor, for X
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of xed, David Z Maze <dmaze@debian.org>,
has orphaned this package. If you want to be the new maintainer, please
take it -- see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for
detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly.
The maintainer writes:
| xed is something of a novelty package written in Tcl, and there are many
| other text editors that are actually useful. It hasn't got much support from
| its upstream recently. Although it should not be particulary hard to
| maintain, arguably there are better alternatives for it.
