MultiMCE Widget

[Mark Johnson <ma...@barrenfrozenwasteland.com>]

Hi All,
At Dev8D I created a prototype multi-user WYSIWYG HTML editor/word
processor widget as part of a bounty. More details will be available on
the dev8D wiki[1] soon.

Unfortunately, Scott pointed out that as TinyMCE on which the editor is
based is LGPL, it's not possible to include it for distribution with
Wookie. With this in mind, I've decided to re-implement a (hopefully fully
functional) version of the widget using a non-copyleft licenced WYSIWYG
javascript editor. There's a list of the editors available with licenceing
info[2] so I'll start my search there. I'll post any updates to the list.

Cheers
Mark

Sounds cool.

On Apache Lenya they use BitFlux and Kupu to great effect (I beleieve 
Kupu is general seen as the better of the two)

I've also heard very good things about Xinha.

Make sure you svn update as my recent changes will make testing this 
widget much easier (the demo page now shows two instances running under 
different users).
