I would think that Kylix should be avoided because as I understand it,
it is proprietary in its own way. I may be wrong on this, but I don't
know of any other Delphi editors for Linux besides Kylix. Though I've
heard that Kylix as an IDE now supports C or C++ to some extent.

Well, one of the primary goals should still be the formation/adoption of a
portable standard of some type. That of course would be usable amongst
any projects that would crop up. Also, ideas generated (which would be
the second most important aspect) could be used. The database structure
should obviously be usable. That would only leave the UI and CAD engine
as possible areas of contention.
