They dubbed this project as "Bespin," deriving the name from the cloud city in The Empire Strikes Back. Now, after over a year, the project is slowly but steadily approaching the 1.0 release and Mozilla has changed the name to Skywriter. Recently they also moved the repository to GitHub, a social code repository, so that developers can more easily work on the project and collaborate with each other.More details at Neowin.
Skywriter is, according to Mozilla, "a powerful, customizable HTML5 text editor." The server version will run via Javascript, and the desktop version will be an XULRunner-based port, but all using the same key parts of the project, namely node.js.
