[MTOS-dev] [ProNet] Javascript Library Standardization

[Byrne Reese]

First of all, the WYSIWYG editor is completely pluggable ­ the core product
does not need to be modified if all you want is a different editor.

Use FCKEditor if you want ­ which is a more than decent editor. But let¹s
not drive the requirements for our javascript framework based upon anyone¹s
WYSIWYG editor of choice.

More from me about the underlying requirements in a moment.
