Hi,
thanks for all the response on this subject. I've looked at the FCK
editor as well and I think that it is a great editor but for Cocoon it
is of no use because it has a LGPL license. Please correct me if i'm
wrong that the LGPL and Apache license are not compatible. But FCK in
comparison to Xinha does not differ that much I guess.
You are correct. At this time, we cannot include, or link to, LGPL code.
There may be the possibility that we can include references to (but not
actually include) LGPL code in the future, but even this would be a pain.
Thus, the Xinha fork of HTMLArea, at least from a licence perspective,
makes better sense for integration into Cocoon.

Just for info:
I found out about HTMLArea being discontinued while looking for
documentation
about it on the net :-/
As I didn't feel at ease integrating a discontinued editor into a current
Cocoon project, I decided to look for an alternative.
I finally chose the "FCKeditor", because it is currently well-supported
(whatever that means in one or two years!), and it features clean,
well-documented sourcecode (...just in case I'll have to debug it
myself, when
it becomes discontinued ;-)
I'm currently integrating FCKeditor into Cocoon Forms. As far as I've
understood, it is mostly a matter of modifying/extending a pretty
straightforward XSL stylesheet (forms-htmlarea-styling.xsl), which
handles the
'htmlarea' field styling type.
Best regards,
Fabrizio

Hi Guys,
I'm working a lot with Cocoon Forms on a daily basis.
For our CMS we've been using HTMLArea for quit some time now.
It works like it should, but there is are some nice features missing
(IMO).
A few months ago I looked at Xinha (http://xinha.python-hosting.com/),
but never got the time to test and implement it. Xinha is based on
HTMLArea (like many other web-based rich text editors) and has a BSD
license.
I'm wondering if somebody is working with it in production (with
Cocoon)
and why we don't distribute it with Cocoon Forms.
HTMLArea's development is sort of discontinued (no activity, see
http://www.dynarch.com/projects/htmlarea/ ) so maybe it would be
nice to
add Xinha to the Forms block?
It would make a nice improvement to the Forms block I think.
What do you guys think?
So far, after working with Xinha for some weeks, I'd be all for
replacing HTMLArea with it. Although I have some concerns about 'code
churn' within the project, and its complete lack of releases.
Maybe something to take up with the project itself.
