We need to be careful about adding further JavaScript dependencies. JSCalendar was abandoned. The CalendarDateSelect project seems to have lost steam.

I guess that is the risk of relying on libraries that only have a single 
developer.

Looking further into Nicedit today, it seems to have the same problem in that there is only a single developer on the project. Furthermore I'm not even sure its a true open source project. At least I could not find the source repository on the site.

Come to think of it, perhaps Nicedit isn't a viable replacement for YUI at this stage.

An alternative might be Xinha[1] which is used by Apache Roller.

I think its mostly about replacing the YUI resources with Nicedit
resources.

Anybody have some spare cycles to contribute a patch?
I'll try to make a patch for it.

However, since Nicedit is so much smaller, IMHO it would be better off as a
control in click-extras too (a WYSIWYG is required in almost any
webapplication these days, so users copy and paste that code from
click-examples all the time).
