Yes this is a big thorn in our side. We've refrained from touching it recently because we don't believe in the underlying architecture based on TinyMCE. Instead some committers have started working on a new WYSIWYG component based on GWT. That said, if anyone wants to send patches for the current WYSIWYG editor, I'll gladly apply them. > * A way of sending emails to XWiki so they can be stored, archived and > referenced from a wiki page. Yep, I remember some talking about this. BTW I wonder if XWiki Watch could be used for this? We'd just need to hook a mailbox + a POP module (or a mailing list archive reader) and it should work just fine I think. Jerome/Anca, WDYT?
