e finally has a new website! The old one was getting a bit long in the hair and didn’t really reflect the current focus (the TextMate support was only mentioned in a small note in the sidebar).

Luck had it that I was contacted by Junaid W. Hanif, a web designer from Pakistan. Who liked e so much, that he offered to design a new website for it. He had just left his job working with big clients to venture the freelance world and he wanted to work with people independently so he could show them his creativity and love for web standards. So designing a new website for e was a good chance to get some exposure and start building up a solid portfolio. Even with the time and cultural differences between Denmark and Pakistan, the collaboration went very well, and the new site is the culmination of many iterations where Junaid patiently adapted it to my specifications.

Some users have noticed that the new site was lacking any reference to the collaboration features. I still have a lot of plans for the collaboration and revision control features. But at right at this stage it was diverting from the current focus on TextMate compatability. I early had the realization that no matter how powerful I made the rcs features, they would never really get used if the basic editing features weren’t up to scratch. So the main focus now is to get the TextMate compatibility complete and stable.

I will actually be removing the collaboration features for a time. They will come back in a much more powerful version when the TextMate features are stable.
