In my particular case I get to fix the bugs and enhance both MediaWiki 
and FCKeditor :) Unfortunately, at this time I am unable to pass fixes 
back to the community due to contracting issues and how it relates to 
GPL. This is being addressed and hopefully in the near future updates 
can be contributed back as one would expect when using open-source.

As an example, I think every version of FCKeditor I've seen so far used 
with MediaWiki has broken search/replace. This is fixed for us :)

Cheers,
Rob.
