What exactly is wrong with Kupu? Tables seems to work. I see that the code used for image insertion makes it not show up on the editor's view.

Here's a quite extensive list:

Would updating to Kupu 1.3.5 vs our current 1.2 make things better?

Maybe updating would make sense, but I'd suggest that we postpone this to a later release. Release early, release often.

Is there even an underline anymore in XHTML? The problem with Kupu is all the integration code is in their svn. It would appear that Gregor at one point had commit access. I do think that we can fix some of the Kupu stuff easily, but it will break BXE. It would be really nice to ship with one GUI editor that worked across browsers. I don't know that Kupu is that one.

Is there anything else out there that works and is license compatible?

I'm afraid that virtually all editors concentrate on (X)HTML and have no support for arbitrary XML.

Most organizations I'm in contact with have sooner or later slimmed down their palette of available editors to one WYSIWYG editor for the daily business and the source editor for delicate surgery. This reflects our situation – multiple editor integrations are potentially conflicting and require a lot of maintenance work and work-around code.

I'd suggest that we concentrate on a really thorough and fool-proof Firedocs integration. I think this is the most promising editor platform at the moment, it has a good usability and is extensible. And we should present the AtomPub-based protocol currently used by Firedocs to other editor communities, maybe someone will be interested.

I hope it is correct to say that IE support is only required by large organizations with strict IT guidelines. If they seriously consider investing in a CMS, they should be prepared to spend some money on a decent editor. Q42 provides a demo version of Xopus that can only be invoked from localhost, we could integrate it as a teaser and proof-of-concept for those organizations. WDYT?

Yeah, but Firedocs is on platform as well, just like BXE. It does satisfy the needs of people like us, but not necessarily our target customers.

Why force users to use a browser they are not familiar with? IE support would be required for many environments without strict guidelines. IE support was a requirement for both EduTech (Lenya) and NDSU (Typo3). At both organizations, IT isn't strict. It's about letting users choose the browser they like and supporting it. FF and IE are the two big ones. Both TinyMCE and FCKEditor support Chrome, Safari 3, and Opera 9 as well. At the time of initial deployment for EduTech, FCK didn't support Safari. This required the OS X schools to install FF, which was kind of a big deal.

Granted, as you said, an org will settle on one browser. However, if all we ship with are FF browsers, it looks like we don't support anything other than the techy FF crowd, which may give it an appearance of harder to use than it is.
