Are you sure?..... "It's the only stable, cross-platform WYSIWYG editor I have found, and I've got to" ...

I speak from my own experience. Our main clients are Press companies whose users still work with Quark XPress and Mac OS 9. They use our CMS via a Lite Client (using IE 5.1 for Mac) and they need to do light editing on content that has been already integrated to the CMS via : Analyzing XPress doc -> XML translation -> CMS Integration (on relational database) Sometimes they may want to emphasize some portions of text (bold, italic, etc.) for the needs of an online publication of a content they originally had in their XPress documents, they may even need to create brand new articles. Most of this people, as I was saying before, work in a MAC OS 9 environment. As a CMS vendor our mission is to adapt as much as we can to our clients' environment and give them the tools they need to make their work easier. Every solution I have analyzed in terms of WYSIWYG editing would require us to tell our clients : "Alright, I you want to use our CMS you will have to migrate all your computers OS from MAC OS 9 to MAC OS X, or migrate to Windows" The answer would then be "Sorry, we are not going to buy your CMS" And that's perfectly understandable. You cannot force a client to switch from its usual working environment for the sake of a technical issue. I think it will take a lot of time for our clients to migrate from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X, just as much as it has taken to migrate Workstations from Windows 95/98 to Windows 2000/XP. In the meantime, we can't do anything else than offering them a tool compatible with the environment they already have. And.. the only one I have found, as I said before, it's the java based editor, EditOnPro from RealObjects. It's the only stable, cross-platform WYSIWYG editor I have found, and I've got to say they did a nice work with it (in regard of the technical constraints you can find with such a cross platform component). www.realobjects.de Regards, Diego Tercero [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eurocortex www.eurocortex.fr 16, avenue de l'Europe 31520 Ramonville - France Tel: 33 (0) 5 62 88 32 84 Fax: 33 (0) 5 62 88 33 46 > -----Message d'origine----- > De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]De > la part de tonyl > Envoye : mercredi 4 decembre 2002 19:37 > A : 'Iva Koberg'; 'Jeremy Tapp'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Objet : RE: [cms-list] WYSIWYG Editor suggestions; Idea > > > > Hi All, > > I have a thought and I wanted to check interested level... > > Now that .NET SSCLI works on BSD and Max OS X...I was thinking about > creating a .NET Frame work WYSIWYG Editor. > > This would solve the cross platform portability issue...now that > Microsoft seems committed to porting .NET to other operating > systems...it would appear that the single platform argument > against them > will slowly disappear. > > Oh ya...the source code to the SSCLI is available for download from > Microsoft's site. > > Tony Leotta > Pillar Software, Inc. > Makers of BBuilder 2.0 > www.pillarsoftware.com > > > > > -- > http://cms-list.org/ > trim your replies for good karma. > -- http://cms-list.org/ trim your replies for good karma. -- http://cms-list.org/ trim your replies for good karma.
