I wasn't around for OOo wiki work, but in my experience with FCKEditor, 
I used it quite a bit working on various TDF  pages and found that the 
editor worked fine if you did not work on large amounts of texts. The 
trick was to shorten your sections up. I know that it was not perfect, 
but it worked fine with me as long as I kept the sections small. Where 
it failed is when I tried to modify a wiki page that was written up 
previously in WikiText but it was a large document with no breaks; in 
this case even the smaller edits could result in lost data or a munched 
page ... I got used to saving copying the original text in a text editor 
and saving my changes (Ctrl-C) to memory before hitting the "Save button.

If you get to the point where you installed it and need someone to test 
it, let me know, I'll give it a try to see if it hiccups for text work 
that I would put it through.

Would still be nice to have it. [grin]

Cheers,
