I do! I am pretty sure that a cross-platform IDE would be very useful 
for newer users for getting started, but also for more advanced users, 
given a suitable design.

Windows and Linux

I have had some thoughts about this earlier and I believe that the main 
feature I would want (which GUSEK doesn't have as fas as I know) is to 
run through the API rather than glpsol. This would help in being able to 
build the model before solving it and to inspect it. Possibly, it would 
even assist in debugging. Also, one could get nicer looking feedback of 
the solution process than just outputting the text file. It would also 
be possible to add functionality to pause on and/or write newly found 
solutions for (M)ILP. Finally, one could inspect the solution 
graphically using e.g. a spreadsheet-like display.

Naturally, this is quite a bit of work, but mainly I would like to 
encourage you to think in this direction. As the API is used one could 
easily replace shard libraries/DLLs when newer versions of GLPK is released.

I wouldn't commit on contributing actually coding, but depending on the 
language used, I may contribute functionality I miss and at least 
provide good ideas. :-)

With best regards
