[jira] [Commented] (ROL-2030) Update Xinha editor

["Glen Mazza (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-2030?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14069340#comment-14069340 ] 

Glen Mazza commented on ROL-2030:
---------------------------------

The Xinha download page isn't working, at least for downloading the latest 0.96.1.  It hasn't been updated since 2010 anyway.

CKEditor appears to be the main RTE today, however it is Mozilla Public License (weak-copyleft), which Apache requires that we distribute only in binary form if we're to use it:
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b.  However CKEditor is virtually all JavaScript and hence must be distributed in source form, i.e., we can't use it.

A few forks of wysihtml5 (https://github.com/schnawel007/bootstrap3-wysihtml5, https://github.com/Waxolunist/bootstrap3-wysihtml5-bower, http://jhollingworth.github.io/bootstrap-wysihtml5/) use an Apache-friendly license (MIT) and modern technologies, even if supported only by a few people.  As of now, that may be the best/only alternative for us if we wish to update Xinha.
