[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.

+1 for A), it's ok to have only wiki editor with the few xwiki/1.0 documents IMO. Plus the old WYSIWYG have lot of issues so it's almost of a feature to disable it even for xwiki/1.0 syntax anyway. On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 7:53 PM, Sergiu Dumitriu <[email protected]> wrote:
