State

completed

Motivation

Kupu is the way to go for wysiwyg editing. It's much more flexible and has many good features for editing.

Plone also needs a visual editor as the default, and have STX/reST as optional formats if you know what you are doing. In essence, you get this if you turn off the visual editor - but the default in a fresh site is to have Kupu as the editor.

Assumptions

We are shipping Kupu 1.2.x with Plone 2.1.

Proposal

1. Remove Epoz and it's dependencies
2. Ship kupu with Plone (compiled?) and all necessary libraries.
3. Make kupu the default editor for each user
4. Make sure the drawers can be edited/customized by mere mortals => zpt.
5. Have a good set of drawers (LiveSearch-like drawer to insert links).
6. Make kupu look Plonish

Progress log

Duncan needs to review this and do some of the dirty work. ;)

Paul is merging the drawer changes.

Limi will do some pixel tweaking here when all is done.
