Contribution

1. We are currently working on a WYSIWYG content editor for the FlexWiki project. The drivers behind the idea are:

  • FlexWiki users who are not comfortable with using the wiki specific editing keywords (keyletters?) need a WYSIWYG editor to construct their content
  • Rapid and intuitive development of content
  • Rich and usable interface for comfortable development of content

With this focus, we are working in the feature addition now.

Technology

  • Microsoft .NET 2.0 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 for FlexWikiCore engine, web application and web services.
  • Microsoft .NET 3.5, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Microsoft SilverLight for Content Editor - Choice of SilverLight to enable future usage of content editor with LiveMesh for offline editing

Status

We are currently involved in the following activities:

  • Finalizing technology (discussion forum)
  • Finalizing project structure (discussion forum)
  • Identifying integration points and mode (discussion forum and code analysis)
  • Applying for write access for the source (have mailed our signed contracts to Microsoft)
