Hi Johan,

 

over the last five years, I developed an WYSIWYG editor based on TinyMCE which 
is part of BlueSpice [1]. You can try it in our demo [2] (User: Testuser, Pass: 
hallowelt). I’d say it’s pretty stable, we have a base of several thousand 
users in enterprise contexts. BlueSpice including the editor is GPLed and 
you’ll find a download link here: [3].  

 

Maybe this one could be a basis for your instance? If you find something that 
needs to be improved, me and my team will be ready to do so in a short time 
frame. In any case, I’d be curious about what you think of BlueSpice J and the 
editor.

 

Best,

Markus

Betreff: [Mediawiki-enterprise] Rich Editor for MediaWiki {stable} release - 
status and steps forward

 

Hi,

 

As I've googled around a bit on the subject of a Rich Editor for MediaWiki, I 
can see that there has been some discussion on this subject already. Just let 
me quickly fill you in on my approach:

 

I work as a Linux sys admin and have been administrating a fairly large 
MediaWiki server on the company Intranet for a while now. Recently there has 
been *a lot* of internal discussion abut the availability of a Rich Editor as 
the WYSIWYG extension became incompatible after upgrading from MediaWiki 1.17.x 
to 1.19.x. Also, despite my adamant suggestions WikiEditor gets little or no 
internal approval. By the way; no need to dive into a discussion about why we 
upgraded despite knowing that the WYSIWYG extension would not work.

 

I'm now trying to get internal support for putting up money to pay a skillful 
programmer to finish whatever needs to be done to get a Rich Editor out into a 
stable state for a given MediaWiki release. So here are my questions to you:

 

* What is the state of Rich Editor extensions for MediaWiki - is Visual Editor 
the main contender or are there other more suitable choices?

* How far from a stable release is each respective Rich Editor?

* What needs to be done to get it / them into a stable state? How many hours 
would a programmer with relevant skills need to get it / them there?

* What are the relevant skills a programmer would need?

* Any recommendation for programmers that could do the job in a relatively 
short time frame?

 

Hope I'm asking this in the right forum, if I'm not I'd appreciate if you could 
point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks and Best Regards,

Johan
