-----------------------------------------------------------
The Xinha download page isn't working, at least for downloading the latest
0.96.1.
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.
