PE's source has been made available for download over at BeUnited's site. In case you missed it, the source was donated in August by Maarten Hekkelman, a very generous contribution.

Since their post isn't that big, i'll just be a nice guy to you all and quote it:

"The source code to the Pe editor is now available at the beunited.org development portal at code.beunited.org. Access is through normal anonymous cvs login using pserver using the following command:

$cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@code.beunited.org:/cvs/pe login

Those who wish to contribute to the project and submit code are asked to contact beunited.org directly at contact@beunited.org."

There you go. So all you PE users who were complaining it wasn't being updated go grab the source and start improving it.

UPDATE:

Simon Gauvin posted on the forums some extra information on how to build PE's source. Since i'm a real nice guy, i'll post the whole thing in here:

If you're on a BeOS x86 box, type:

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@code.beunited.org:/cvs/pe co pe_x86

$ cd pe_x86

$ make

and that should be all. For BeOS ppc you should type:

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@code.beunited.org:/cvs/pe co pe_ppc

$ cd pe_ppc

$ make

UPDATE: In some cases some people may experience build problems trying to find the mail library if you are using MDR. Before building execute this command in the terminal:

$ ln -s /system/lib/libmail.so /boot/develop/lib/x86 

There you go, now get busy!
