To make a start I'm currently part of the Pulsar Edit team which is a community of like minded people that came together after the sunset of the Atom text editor to fork and improve it and get it up to date.

The project is almost a year old now as we are are just a few days off the anniversary of the above sunsetting blog post.

In what feels like a much shorter amount of time that it has been, we managed to get the entire (closed source) package backend re-implemented, get a website and documentation site up and running, get a whole bunch of improvements to the neglected Atom project going and generally having a great time interacting with the community who came together in the spirit of open source.
