as nice as neutron seems, it does ring a warning bell that there are no other implementations on the horizon. i don't mean to disrespect the effort, but as it is now, it's just another single-vendor standard...


I don't think it's a single-vendor standard. Yes, it's hosted at http://neutron.wyona.org, but it hasn't anything specific to Wyona products.

i did not mean to imply you are trying to push stuff that would bring unfair advantage to wyona or something. it's just that the standard originates with one vendor, and that you will have to face NIH syndrome when going for wider adoption.

that said, i'm all for integrating a complete neutron implementation into lenya, but it does not really address the current issue of editor abstraction.

why not? You mean because not all editors are using Neutron yet?

yes. the current situation is that we need those editors, they don't need us. so we can ask them to converge on neutron, but if they don't, we must implement glue layers.

get the tinymce people to add a neutron front-end, and i will be dancing naked on the streets shouting "michi, you da man!" :)


well, let me try ;-)

/me bites tongue (michi cc:ed me on a letter to the tinymce editor this morning. looks like our proposed zurich hackathon is going to make the tabloid headlines... :)

but I think it's important that all of us should request an abstraction layer from the Editor vendors/communities, whereas it doesn't have to be Neutron. It can also be WebDAV or APP or whatever, but it should be standardized.

agreed.
