Kind of sounds like they're just open sourcing the development of a platform.. On the platform?

Like if Github had the source for github public on github? Sounds a bit weird though, as its not "open sourcing itself", what ever that would really be

Edit: actually, I'm more confused now. Zed is just an editor? Not a platform?

That is also a sentence that doesn't make sense to me. Are they perhaps meaning something different than usual by the term "open source"?

It seems that way to me. From what I can gather after reading the article, it seems they are:

1. Developing Zed in the open 2. Allowing anyone to watch and give feedback on the development from within Zed itself (it looks sort of like IRC channels in the screenshots) 3. Eventually allowing people in those channels to actively participate in the development live (sounds like Google Docs meets GitHub pull requests)
