[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Retire the old WYSIWYG editor

Hi devs, Related to the other vote about disabling the xwiki/1.0 syntax [1], I'd like to retire the old WYSIWYG editor. Although there aren't any obvious benefits, on the contrary it, removes an important feature, the advantages for doing this are: - fewer bugs (there are known bugs that we've decided not to fix since we agreed not to maintain it anymore) - less code (the .vm templates that support the editor are really crappy and I'd be very happy to get rid of them completely) - strongly encourages (developer) users to migrate to the new syntax - less non-valid, non-accessible code (standards compliance) - fewer places where XSS holes can hide (security) Personally I'd like to remove it completely, but there's also the option of putting it in a -legacy- module, still enabled in the final releases. This makes two options: A) Move the editor in a xwiki-contrib retired module B) Move the editor in xwiki-platform-legacy-web and leave it enabled My +1 goes for A.
