Keep in mind that EDITI is intended to eventually subsume FI and ILISP
and evolve toward a much more powerful and modern integrated programming
environment -- e.g. including (hopefully soon) very powerful 
EXAMPLE-BASED programming capabilities that will greatly reduce 
development time and greatly increase maintainability.

Just how soon will depend upon the confluence of availability of
time and funding ...
