Hi Lenya devs,
I think everyone is aware that the editor situation still leaves a
lot to be desired. IIRC we considered concentrating on one or two
editor interfaces and ceasing support for the others.
If we want to follow this approach, IMO there are two ways of
deciding which editor to support: according to current usage (survey
on user list), or according to technology and features. Which way
would you prefer?
I think one should listen to both first and then make a decision.
Maybe the coincide and if not then one can still collect arguments
for one or the other
This makes sense. Should we start a poll? Rudolf suggests to do it on
the wiki, but maybe the participation threshold is lower on the
mailing list?
agreed, mailing list has probably hight participation
I have to admit that I'm in favor of the latter approach. I think we
can only provide a good user experience if the editor possesses an
adequate technological basis.
which one do you suggest?
IMO there are some mandatory requirements:
* We have to provide an editor for the major browsers (FF, IE, Safari)
* We have to provide custom XML editing
+1
At the moment I think these requirements can't be met with a single
editor.
From what I heard, TinyMCE is very popular a cross-browser (X)HTML
editor, allows customization (AFAIK the EPO uses an enhanced TinyMCE),
and doesn't make as much trouble as Kupu. BTW, I have some code
somewhere which allows to execute build files in modules. We could use
that to download TinyCME when the tinymce module is installed. WDYT?
I also think TinyMCE is quite fine, but please aware of the lincense
Also one might want to consider Xinha
OTOH, from my experience the browser plug-in approach (Yulup,
Firedocs) allows to offer a very good user experience and rich feature
set. Here the major question is about the communication interface. I'm
not sure if it is realistic to expect the editor vendors to agree on a
standard interface (like CMIS), though.
I wouldn't rely on CMIS for the moment, but I still very much believe
that Lenya and all other CMS should support something like the
Neutron/Atom/OrWhatever protocol and allow to easily use such editors as
Yulup and Firedocs
Another option would be a thighter cooperation between the editor
vendors and the Lenya community. This was quite good when we started
to integrate Kupu, but Guido Wesdorp hasn't been active on the list
for quite some time. The same applies to BXE.
as you point out there is the risk of a "single point of failure"
Cheers
Michael
Thomas, will you find the time to help completing the Firedocs
interface anytime soon?
