What is this project?

There are a lot of cloud9-vnc forks floating around, most of which are clones of a C9 developer's proof of concept that have not been updated or improved since.

Because I could not find any pre-made solution that satisfied my needs (easy install/uninstall, no runtime errors, user authentication), I took advantage of open-source and made a fork of my own. This fork is the most active and feature-rich to date.

What makes this fork different from others is that I have improved the original concept and streamlined the project so it can actually be applied without having to mess about with its inner workings. Too many people are turned off by Cloud9 because of its lack of native support for a classic desktop interface, and the poorly maintained cloud9-vnc solutions out there do not help in showing the fully capabilities of the IDE.
