Neat!
I haven't been able to get the demo to do anything other than hang Firefox, though.
The first time you load it it has to fetch a lot of data, unfortunately. Though that would be indicated by the flipping "Transfering data from.." / "Waiting for .." messages in the status bar. I'll have to test it on my Mac.
There seems to be a lot of duplicate code in the patch, as well as some scary-looking SQL that may not be secure.
Yeah. It's mostly a proof of concept, but we wanted to provide a patch anyway, as people tend to go "Cool. But how do *I* use it at home?".
It looks like you're also trying to throw in some kind of wysiwyg processing. That's unfortunate; half-working wysiwyg translation of this kind will probably never be reliable enough for us to be able to use or endorse it. I would strongly recommend sticking with a clean text editor, and leaving wysiwyg for a future day.
Actually, wysiwyg support is fully supported on the synchroedit end; at one point it would convert the wysiwyg stuff into mediawiki markup, but the problem was that it didn't (and I was hesitant to make it) convert mediawiki markup to html. So what I have done is basically ripped out the toolbar. The problem with making it "true" plaintext is that user coloring won't work anymore. But I should probably do some cleaning up anyway.
I'll play around with the Mac later today and see what happens. Apologies about the hanging. :/
