Hi fellow XWikiers, I've been spending some time thinking about the new User Interface we might want to build for the new WYSIWYG editor. I've posted the ideas I gathered so far on this page : http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterface .
I think the following tabs in the 3rd proposal are a bit strange: Text | Insert | Link | Macro | Import | Create Some are about content type: Text, Link, Macro Others are about Actions on content: Insert , Import, Create I think we need to be consistent: either use only actions or only content type and have the sub menu display the other category. Another way of saying this is that to create a link I wouldn't know if I should click on "Insert" on "Link" or on "Create". I haven't made my mind yet on which proposal is my favorite... still thinking... :) thanks -Vincent
I'd be glad to get some feedback either on the list or in comments right on the page in order to see whether any given approach clinches or clashes with your own conceptions of a great rich text editor.
Please bear in mind that I'll probably be adding content to the page on a regular basis in days to come in order to account for the feedback received - if any.
In case of an absence of feedback, well, I guess we'll be able to assume safely that the new WYSIWYG editor doesn't matter that much in the end and stop its development altogether ;-)
Looking forward hearing from you guys (and girls),
Guillaume
