Rich Text Editor overhaul (GSOC 2010)

[arjunjain]

Hi
My name is Arjun Jain .I am a computer engineering student from India .I want to discuss more about the idea of rich text editor overhaul.
recently i have design the lug website of my college when i design the admin the part i want to use text editor which provide me lot of featured
some one suggest me to use TinyMCE when i integrate it with module then page take long time to load then i replace  TinyMCE to CKeditor then i was surprised i take 30-40 % less time as compared to TinyMCE.
the main aim of all these conversation because i want to be sure that in this project i am only replacing the existing text editor with new fully featured text editor (CKeditor) . Is that right.
 Currently dreamwidth does not support to store any media . the current version text editor only show video link on the post and does not provide functionality  of upload from system to server . i want to know can i remove the same functionality because dreamwidth not supported ,to newer version of text editor or provide the some method to activate this functionality in future if media hosting project of dreamwidth became successfull .
  I would appreciate to discuss and listen any idea from all of you

thanks

Another thing I'm interested in is making it easy to style the RTE--or, at the very least, to have two different styles of it, one dark-on-light and another light-on-dark. That was the reason that I looked into updating to CKEditor; a lot of people use our light-on-dark site scheme to ease eyestrain, and there have been complaints about the RTE still being dark-on-light even in that site scheme.
