Don't use it, I won't be sad. But please don't suggest geeky tools for non-geeks. Please try to think about them first. Don't you really think that anyone able to use vim would use PyRoom (or even Writeroom at the first place)? I got a better one: Ctrl-alt-f1 - login - vim. Don't you think that Joe User will never use vim? or emacs? or even Gnome terminal ? And don't even think about the tty interface. Who wants Totem? Just give them mplayer, and they'll have to learn the key bindings... What's a GUI anyway, huh? Who cares? And let's get rid of screens, too. Pointless. A braille terminal is enough for everyone. When will geeks understand that their tools are _not_ for ordinary users? I enjoy using vim myself, but I wouldn't advise anyone to open a console and run [your favorite editor] to edit text. end of rant. aaaah... manny: want a beer? manny: PyRoom is not good enough for you: fine.

If you're thinking of contributing, here are a couple of ideas/requests. 1. Toggle word count. 2. Amber/brown theme 3. Toggle spell check (I'm really bad) 4. Autosave which would make it more save for the non geek (target audience). 5. Print draft. I'll be happy to be a tester. Hi Bruno.
