I just had a brief look at Diakonos. Seems nice and clean: just one
main .rb file for the editor, and one conf file. Sadly, aside from a
few comments here and there in the code and in the conf file, Diakonos
looks to be entirely undocumented.

There *is* a readme describing how to install (which is (happily)
trivial), but no mention anywhere how to use the editor (though,
passing "--help" (I guessed that one) gives 4 lines of info). I also
guessed that Ctrl-q exits the editor, but that's it.

The site implies that its first release was in June, 2004.
