Yeah. It's a primary goal to make the source code fully available. I may offer a hosted solution like Akka does for EOC, but it'll run a lot faster if you download and run it locally. It's just having a version of Windows with IIS (everything but the Home editions, basically), unzipping the files to your c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder, and running an included batch file to activate the application compilation.
Freely available .net source code also means anyone at all could update and maintain it if necessary, with the free Visual Studio or any text editor, really.
I'm thinking the most complicated editors to make will be Spells, Items, and NPCs with all their associated spawns, loot tables, merchant lists, yadda yadda. But there are a heck of a lot of smaller but very helpful editors/builders to put together, too.
It's gonna be a fun ride.
