Hi, in order to keep the work going on the new WYSIWYG editor we need to decide which UI we want to have for the editor.
Interface proposals & explanations are available on the following page : http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterface Here are the choices, please cast your vote in front of the one you like best : - Proposal Number 1 : - Proposal Number 2 : - Proposal Number 3 : - Proposal Number 4 : Guillaume Please note that this is a vote for an interface concept : the eventual colors, icons and look & feel will be reviewed and improved by a designer prior to the final implementation.
