Once the widget API has become a bit more stable I was thinking of
adding a standard WYSIWYG widget to TurboGears. Previous posts have
mentioned TinyMCE and others.Of course it must work well within TG,
including internationalization and licencing issues.
Is anyone using WYSIWG editors ? What are their personal favorites?
I'm using Xinha (http://xinha.python-hosting.com/). My major concern
when I was looking around (a while ago) was that many of the WYSIWYG
editors aren't developed in an open source style, e.g., no public
repository. Xinha in particular was a fork of HTMLArea, a project which
died, but did so mysteriously because you couldn't even tell when
development stopped because everything was done in private. The
transparency of different projects may have improved since I last
looked. Dojo's new offering is certain is done in good open-source
style -- I just wish they didn't have such a complicated build process.
Xinha has a lot of neat plugins, distributed (and maintained) with the
base package (many aren't well documented or even listed publically
anywhere). Its internationalization seems quite good. And it's also
clearly open to participation. It does *not* have good marketing, and
definitely has some crufty parts because it is relatively old. But I
these are also relatively shallow problems.
