[pmwiki-users] Fw: Re: Follow-Up:Whither WYSIWYG? Contract/Contribution

Petko, 
A week ago I sent you the inquiry on WYSIWYG, below, as to
"What do you estimate it would take to do it, and how long would it take? What cost?"
Did my email slip through the cracks? Or is there some other reason why you haven't responded?
Thanks, 
Al

Petko,
You have done some great work for PmWiki and this group.
We need that final WYSIWYG feature to make this an outstanding wiki! 
What about Simon's suggestion?
What do you estimate it would take to do it and how long would it take? What cost?
Thanks,
Al

It hasn't progressed much. There are a number of technical difficulties about
fixing bugs in the _javascript_ editor, integrating the rich text in the wiki
page, working with existing wiki pages, working with mixed richtext/wikitext
pages, upgrading/downgrading, working with page sections, working with
uploads/files/attachments, autosuggesting internal links etc. Once the
difficulties overcome, it should be a piece of cake. :-)

At the moment nobody is paid to work on this feature, so there are no contract
deadlines. It will progress as fast as I find "free" time and I decide to
spend it working on the RichText editor instead of doing something else. :-)

That said, I very much appreciated all the comments and ideas that people on
the list gave me. I'll use them.

Thanks,
Petko
