Hi Kojo, Thank you for your interest in XWiki. We had several attempts at this project, and so far nothing was usable, so we're a bit skeptical about it. To get accepted, you must really convince us that you have a strong architecture, and that you can finish the project in time. The most important aspect is that this is an application FOR XWIKI, so we're not interested in a nice editor that works on its own, but something that is tightly integrated with XWiki, meaning that it stores all its data inside wiki documents, it works inside the XWiki UI, it takes advantage of XWiki versioning and access rights, etc. Your proposal should put accent on this aspect. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
