Aloha Editor - great HTML5 JavaScript editor
Have you met Aloha? I recently stumbled across it and it is a real interesting alternative to TinyMCE and the others…
Oh, almost forgot, it is an HTML5 JavaScript editor that could potentially work quite nicely with Txp, if someone were to wrap it into a plugin ;-)

Re: Aloha Editor - great HTML5 JavaScript editor
Very interesting. This editor works with the html5 attribute “contentEditable” and change its content directly from the front office.
This gives us a true WYSIWYG. Direct editing. I think CMSs will quickly adopt this type of functionality (some already do : Typo3, Wordpress, Pearch). This is extremely convenient for end user for change of content.
But I don’t think it’s compatible with Textile. And how to update the database (ajax request ?).
For all that concerns User Interface/Experience, ergonomics, fun to use. Txp is not in the race. Be patient.

As someone who is always looking for ways to make things more immediate for site editors, I think this is the logical next best step for TXP

Looks like it really has potential. I found it pretty fiddly to work with, though. I changed the text on one of their examples to h1 and couldn’t get it back to paragraph text. :-/
