I recieved an email from the Maguma Studio team earlier today sharing a major move on their part in the future of their Studio editor - their open-source release of Maguma OpenStudio.

Maguma GmbH (Bolzano, Italy) will make the source code of Maguma Studio, Maguma's Windows-exclusive IDE, open! Beginning in March 2005 the full source code of Studio will be available for download and community participation. Maguma OpenStudio as Maguma has named the product is a milestone in the pursuit to the realization of Maguma's Open Source strategy. Maguma OpenStudio is a fast, easy and effective PHP IDE for beginners and professional developers alike. The newest product, the modular cross-platform IDE, Maguma Workbench, is Maguma's second generation IDE and is also community focused through its flexibility to allows users to create custom modules for it. Maguma's goal is to allow programmers to "Have Fun Programming!"

It looks like it's not quite posted yet, but, if it's anything near as good as their normal IDE, then the community is definitely in for a treat! Keep an eye out on phpWizard.net and community.maguma.org for all of the details.
