Update to tinymce?

[Michael Sharman]

Hi guys,

I believe the version of tinymce that comes with "core" is a little
out of date, is there a plugin or plan in the works to upgrade to the
latest version?

If not, do you believe it will be a big task to do the integration and
what are you thoughts on simply updating core as opposed to creating a
plugin?

Thanks

The real time sink with the tinyMCE upgrade is the need to write a new
tinyMCE plugin for integrating FarCry content (ie. the FarCry
button).  The latest version of tinyMCE is a pretty much a rewrite and
introduces a new plugin architecture.

I expect its not likely to be all that difficult, it's just a block of
time we don't have at the moment.  Of course if there was a sponsor
out there, or someone wanted to contribute a solution we'd be happy to
consider it for core.

If you wanted to attempt an update, your best bet would be to build a
plugin, and get it to completely replace the richtext.cfc formtool.
Once you have that working we can look to integrate the solution
directly into core within an appropriate milestone.

I am wondering in case of sponsoring, how does it work, can we be a
little more transparent about prices etc? Or email about this? If
that's more in the open i can see what i could share, and we all know
how many others we could motivate so we all could contribute a part.

Not only for this situation but it might open up possibilities for
other future features that we would love to see integrated that are
not on the 'open source path' or could be faster implemented if funded
for.

Is this something we could setup in the bug tracker as feature
improvement and put all the info out there, price, time, requests,
people joining in, is that an idea?

It is? You know, if 100 or maybe just 10 of the 674 users here would
agree... Anyone else enthusiastic about this?

Our policy on sponsorship of code is outlined here:
  http://www.daemon.com.au/services/farcry-core-changes

We've also been looking at introducing some sort of bounty program,
eg. defining a feature, setting up a fund that people can contribute
to, and building the feature once the nominated bounty is met.  It
would be interesting to know how keen community members would be to
participate in such a scheme.

At this time nearly all development is sponsored directly by Daemon
and some of its larger clients.

That's indeed very interesting, i hope there will be some feedback
from members i am definitively enthusiastic about it. Thanks.
