Zed Weekly: #28

The Zed2 initiative is progressing through three phases, with the team focusing on transitioning from Zed1 to Zed2, aiming to have a working version ready by the end of 2023. Phase 1, which involves getting Zed2 runnable with basic functionalities like file editing and autocomplete, is nearly complete. Phase 2, which has already begun, focuses on enhancing productivity with features such as collaboration and terminal integration. Phase 3 will introduce flagship features like Assistant and Copilot. The team is committed to addressing community feedback throughout the transition and plans to make Zed2 open source once it surpasses Zed1. Team members like Joseph, Nate, Julia, Marshall, and Kirill are working on refining user interfaces, addressing bugs, and enhancing features to ensure a smooth transition. The team is also considering community engagement through office hours and one-on-one sessions to gather user insights. Meanwhile, improvements are being made to UI components, telemetry, and frontend systems, while maintaining a consistent style across the platform.
