Hi everyone,

I will chime in about this about this topic (as usual).

Yes, the last we used was the FCKEditor and there were problems with 
keeping wiki page edits stable enough to post.[1] I had used it quite a 
bit for updating wiki pages (especially in the marketing section) and 
found that if you created long wiki pages that the editor would at time 
"hiccup" and lose data (sometimes all the page) -- I tried to keep the 
pages in more short fragmented sections to avoid this.

Thanks for the link, I tried it out and it is nice. I guess we will only 
know if it works without any problems if it is installed. It will help 
those of us who have time to update/tidy up the wiki. It will also help 
new contributors who want to jump in and help out.

Cheers,

Marc
