I haven't discussed it, but I'm building an IDE based on CORBA modules.
gIDE seems to be the big IDE, so I think we have both :) So far I
don't have too much yet. Some IDL in progress, and a project management
module that needs rewriting. Fortunately, a lot of the functionality
in an IDE already exists, and since I'm using CORBA, this can be
re-used, which is exactly what I'm planning to do.

If you want to see what I have so far, check out module photon from
cvs.
