Hi,<div><br></div><div>As I&#39;ve googled around a bit on the subject of a Rich Editor for MediaWiki, I can see that there has been some discussion on this subject already. Just let me quickly fill you in on my approach:</div>
<div><br></div><div>I work as a Linux sys admin and have been administrating a fairly large MediaWiki server on the company Intranet for a while now. Recently there has been *a lot* of internal discussion abut the availability of a Rich Editor as the WYSIWYG extension became incompatible after upgrading from MediaWiki 1.17.x to 1.19.x. Also, despite my adamant suggestions WikiEditor gets little or no internal approval. By the way; no need to dive into a discussion about why we upgraded despite knowing that the WYSIWYG extension would not work.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m now trying to get internal support for putting up money to pay a skillful programmer to finish whatever needs to be done to get a Rich Editor out into a stable state for a given MediaWiki release. So here are my questions to you:</div>
<div><br></div><div>* What is the state of Rich Editor extensions for MediaWiki - is Visual Editor the main contender or are there other more suitable choices?</div><div>* How far from a stable release is each respective Rich Editor?</div>
<div>* What needs to be done to get it / them into a stable state? How many hours would a programmer with relevant skills need to get it / them there?</div><div>* What are the relevant skills a programmer would need?</div>
<div>* Any recommendation for programmers that could do the job in a relatively short time frame?</div><div><br></div><div>Hope I&#39;m asking this in the right forum, if I&#39;m not I&#39;d appreciate if you could point me in the right direction.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks and Best Regards,</div><div>Johan<br><br>---<br>Johan Ramm-Ericson<br><br><br>
