[wp-testers] jwysiwyg

Fri Aug 7 14:05:21 UTC 2009

After thinking on this a bit, I'll add my vote for changing. 
The only thing in the WordPress core that remains heavy (very 
heavy) is the TinyMCe editor. Although I can most certainly 
predict a few nightmares involved in changing over to JWYSIWYG 
I think it would be well worth some serious thinking. Besides, 
nothing says JWYSIWYG can't be tailored to meet WordPress' 
specific needs.

Just a thought.
