Hi Lenya devs,
I think everyone is aware that the editor situation still leaves a lot
to be desired. IIRC we considered concentrating on one or two editor
interfaces and ceasing support for the others.
If we want to follow this approach, IMO there are two ways of deciding
which editor to support: according to current usage (survey on user
list), or according to technology and features. Which way would you
prefer?
I think one should listen to both first and then make a decision. Maybe
the coincide and if not then one can still collect arguments for one or
the other
This makes sense. Should we start a poll? Rudolf suggests to do it on
the wiki, but maybe the participation threshold is lower on the mailing
list?
I have to admit that I'm in favor of the latter approach. I think we
can only provide a good user experience if the editor possesses an
adequate technological basis.
which one do you suggest?
IMO there are some mandatory requirements:
* We have to provide an editor for the major browsers (FF, IE, Safari)
* We have to provide custom XML editing
At the moment I think these requirements can't be met with a single editor.
From what I heard, TinyMCE is very popular a cross-browser (X)HTML
editor, allows customization (AFAIK the EPO uses an enhanced TinyMCE),
and doesn't make as much trouble as Kupu. BTW, I have some code
somewhere which allows to execute build files in modules. We could use
that to download TinyCME when the tinymce module is installed. WDYT?
OTOH, from my experience the browser plug-in approach (Yulup, Firedocs)
allows to offer a very good user experience and rich feature set. Here
the major question is about the communication interface. I'm not sure if
it is realistic to expect the editor vendors to agree on a standard
interface (like CMIS), though. Another option would be a thighter
cooperation between the editor vendors and the Lenya community. This was
quite good when we started to integrate Kupu, but Guido Wesdorp hasn't
been active on the list for quite some time. The same applies to BXE.
Thomas, will you find the time to help completing the Firedocs interface
anytime soon?
