Hello,
Congratulations on LocalWiki, that is really great! In HTML5 editor category you should check out Aloha Editor as well: http://aloha-editor.org
My favorite demos: http://aloha-editor.org/demos/css3/ (*everyone* should check out this one! Of course its useless but fun :) http://aloha-editor.org/demos/wordpress-demo/ http://aloha-editor.org/demos/960-fluid-demo/
I've just started to study their plugin system, which looks promising. My painful experience with TinyMCE and other RTE-s and also with the old wiki editor is that if you cannot make your custom stuff fit in a standard plugin (which is too often the case), it will be very hard to upgrade later. So IMO if you go for future-proofness you should check the customization options.
Best, Mihály Héder

Folks-
Big congrats on the first general-public visual editor demo. We've been hoping for a while that someone would work on a non-designMode/contentEditable editor. This looks -great-!
We're interested in using the editor in LocalWiki. We're currently using a highly-modified CKeditor, which will probably keep working well for a year or so, but beyond that it's not very future-proof. We've done a lot of work to make our editing experience consistent and fun, but it's a real pain to hack on new editor-specific functionality because CKeditor is so fickle. We'd love nothing more than to throw it in a trashbin and set it afire. But such is technology.
The first question I have is: how much trouble will we encounter if we're not using wiki markup? We store everything as HTML5 everywhere, and we're converting our old sites to HTML5 on import.
We should hang out and have a little show-and-tell! Maybe early Jan?
Best, Philip LocalWiki http://localwiki.org
