TinyMCE and FCKeditor are both usable by IE.
As I understand it, Xopus is an *XML* editor (like BXE), whereas
TinyMCE and FCKeditor are really HTML/XHTML editors. Unlike BXE, the
current release of Xopus works on both IE and FF. The major down side
for Lenya is that Xopus is a commercial product.
Bottom line: In 1.4 I think we should only keep the editors that have
contributors who are willing to provide updates as needed by
architecture changes. This is like any other part of Lenya.
Lacking such a contributor, maybe the proper place for Xopus, if it
needs to be kept at all, is as a patch, with a wiki page that briefly
describes the outdated integration that the Xopus patch provides.
Then Xopus could be stripped from the trunk code.
