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

I believe including flash content in entries is a deliberate restriction on the part of the site owners, so that would be something to be discussed with them.

And thank goodness for that! Browsing at work + flash content = OMGBAD. For some of us. :)


(This isn't saying I have vast knowledge of computer systems. Just me saying that I avoid anything with flash at work so I don't get in trouble.)
