Hi Lars, The following link provides part of the story for me. Keep in mind I have a preference not to recommend software which I feel may not have a direction. http://forum.nvudev.org/viewtopic.php?t=5175 I decided to do a little more digging and managed to find the following from Daniel's archives. "Sunday 17 September 2006 Mozilla Composer features The list is almost ready, and the roadmap is in the pipe. For those who did not get the message :Nvu 1.0 is - for me - a dead end. Just like Seamonkey was left to the community, I am glad to leave Nvu 1.0 codebase to Kazé who started integrating bug fixes but I remind him that Nvu is a trademark by Linspire Inc. That's good he used a new name, Kompozer, for his fork. I just cannot work on Nvu 1.0 and Mozilla Composer, its xulrunner-based successor at the same time. Furthermore, for Mozilla Composer, I need SVG. I need CSS columns. I need xulrunner. I need stuff that don't exist in the old gecko-1.7 codebase. Mozilla Composer won't be just a xulrunner- and gecko1.8-based revamping of Nvu 1.0, it will be something totally new, entirely rewritten, and the feature list will make Nvu look like a prehistoric web editor, which it is ;-) Note: posts on this blog about Mozilla Composer will remain in the "nvu" category. Par Daniel Glazman, à 20:29 :: Nvu : #2081 " I did have hopes for NVU. Composer looks like an interesting project, but as yet does not exist as a live project. For now however OpenOffice.org Writer/Web is the only free WYSIWYG web page editor with in-line spell checking that I have managed to find for the Windows platform. Maybe someone else has found something better. I still see many people recommending NVU. If others feel the above confirms NVU is dead, then hopefully others won't push people to a project with no future. For some people Writer/Web will meet their needs. In my mind too many people push people away from the Writer/Web option. I have seen this often over the last three years. In time I feel this will lead to this module being removed. To me that is not a good thing. I hope the above information helps.
