[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Edit menu and content editors

Hi devs, I'm working on integrating CKEditor in XWiki and I'm wondering how the Edit menu should reflect the fact that there are multiple editors available. I see two options: (A) List all the available content editors in the Edit menu (note that the menu is visible only for advanced users). E.g. Wiki, GWT WYSIWYG, CKEditor PROS: * easier to implement (because there is already an UIX for this) * easier to discover new content editors (e.g. after an admin installs an extension that provides a content editor) * ability to try a different content editor than the one configured (i.e. without updating the configuration) CONS: * the (advanced) user might not know, at first, which content editor to choose from the Edit menu * once the user has a preferred editor the other content editor entries become noise (the user may want to hide them) (B) List only the edit modes in the Edit menu. E.g. Wiki, WYSIWYG PROS: * easier to choose the edit mode (wiki/source vs. WYSIWYG) * less crowded Edit menu (easier to scan, no noise) CONS: * the user needs to edit his profile to discover the available editors for Wiki/WYSIWYG modes * harder to try the new content editors (you need to update the configuration) Let's see what we need for each option: (A) Needs: * UIX in the Edit menu (already available) * 1 configuration option ("editing.content.defaultEditor") to configure the default editor (at farm/wiki/space/user level). We can probably extend the "Default editor to use" preference from the user profile to show all the available content editors. (B) Needs: * 3 configuration options: ** default edit mode (Wiki vs. WYSIWYG), already available in the user profile ** default Wiki mode editor (only one editor for now so we can skip it) ** default WYSIWYG mode editor (GWT-based vs. CKEditor) I'm leaning towards option (A). WDYT? Thanks, Marius
