Would it be possible to adapt the Visual Editor to run under 1.19?
I have a couple of reasons for wanting that:
* 1.19 is our LTS release. Visual Editor looks awesome and I'd like to provide people who are stuck on older versions of MediaWiki with a persuasive reason to upgrade to 1.19 at least.
* FCKeditor is no longer supported for MediaWiki, but people are still using it and, for some reason, like what it provides. If we can make the Visual Editor available to them, I'm hoping the need for FCKeditor will disappear.
There is a dependency on Parsoid and node.js, of course, that a FCKeditor doesn't need, but I'm assuming right now that if MediaWiki works with the extension, then the Parsoid instance will just run.
I'll be setting up and testing Visual Editor soon and start looking at what is needed to get it running against 1.19 and begin to see how feasible that even is.
Is anyone else interested in helping to make this happen?
