I'm almost done. I want to commit ASAP (like in half an hour) but there
are two things that stop me:
(1) I added a parameter in xwiki.cfg (xwiki.wysiwygnew=[1|0]) for
enabling/disabling the experimental editor. I need to retrieve its value
in a template like edit.vm. How should I do it? Options:
* Add a isWysiwygNewEnabled() method in XWiki. I don't like this solution
because XWiki is already too crowded.
* Create a WysiwygPlugin that we can extend later, and which will contain
for the moment just a isEnabled() method.
* Something else?
(2) "New WYSIWYG (experimental)" is too long for the EditModes panel (it
breaks in two lines). Is it ok to leave just "New Wysiwyg"?
WDYT?

I'll move the new WYSIWYG into the platform tomorrow morning.
Regarding the integration, I forgot one important detail that may cause
some problems: the GWT version. A few weeks ago I switched from 1.4.61 to
1.5-rc1. The latest version is now 1.5-rc2 and I believe they will soon
provide a final 1.5 version (AFAIK, there's no publicly available
roadmap). Some of the reasons that made me move to GWT 1.5 are:
* Java 1.5 goodies (use of generics instead of @gwt.typeArgs annotations)
* Improved API (Element#getInnerHTML() instead of
DOM#getInnerHTML(Element))
* Curiosity
Right now, platform-web-gwt depends on GWT 1.4.61. It seems to work on 1.5
since the new WYSIWYG depends on it and on GWT 1.5. So, what are the
options?
* Move platform-web-gwt to GWT 1.5 (but may cause problems in other
projects like Watch and Curriki)
* Use maven magic to obtain a special XE distribution which will include
the new WYSIWYG and will depend on GWT 1.5 (but we won't have the new
WYSIWYG in the default distribution)
* Degrade the WYSIWYG to GWT 1.4 (but it will make me unhappy)
* Something else?
So WDYT?

Hi devs,
I propose to move the new WYSIWYG editor into the platform in order to
have it as an experimental feature for 1.6M1.
The following steps should be taken:
* Create a platform/web/wysiwyg module to host the code currently
resided
in sandbox/wysiwyg
* Change templates/edit.vm, templates/editpanels.vm and create
templates/editwysiwygnew.vm to make XE aware of the new editor. This way
our users will be able to experiment the new WYSIWYG editor on any page,
by having editor=wysiwygnew in the edit URL.
* Change platform/web/pom/xml and enterprise/web/pom.xml
Here's my +1
Marius
