What does this project need

Hardware tools are quite important part of such a IDE. But they have been neglected here for a long time. So it would be nice to design more and more various HW tools and publish them here.

Operating systems supported by this IDE are all based on Linux. It would be nice to somehow extend support to other systems and also improve the current support for Linux.

Documentation is one of dark sites of the project. Currently there is no documentation for this project. It is one important goals of future development of the project.

Software, this project is primarily about software so it's also important to keep the software fresh and improve its reliability and functionality. The IDE itself is written in Tcl/Tk and "Simple serial programmer" is written in C++/Qt4.

Community, it would be great to establish a community of people interested in 8051 and this project. Or join some existing community of that kind ...
