Michel Belanger just released the source code of his Workspace 0.5C at http://pages.infinit.net/micbel/. Submit your patches and he will include and maintain the source, though he won't have time for development himself. Workspace is a free yet powerfull QNX Photon native code editor.
Chris McKillop (a.k.a cdm) left QNX Software Systems (QSS) last Friday and is going to Apple. He will be working in the newly formed Consumer Electronics division. He promised to keep supporting the QNX community in his own time, and continue on his killer* apps as well as the eqip project. Of course, he will be using the Non Commercial (NC) release that most of us are using :)
