WYSIWYG editors

with the recent move of the kupu project (and impending one of the bitflux editor) under the oscom umbrella, we have created a new mailing list to discuss wysiwyg editors:
editors@oscom.org
for those interested, please sign up. and if your CMS / web application still uses earlier generations of editors, now would be a good time to migrate.
which wysiwyg editor should you use for your CMS or web application? there is currently no editor that supports both Mozilla and Internet Explorer and can handle both XHTML and arbitrary XML schemas. at the same time, there are countless “solutions” that produce horrible markup and should NOT be used. there are, however, excellent open source editors available that produce well-formed and valid XHTML or XML. note that both bxe and kupu are OSCOM projects, while Xopus is a proprietary product from Q42.

XHTML XML (arbitrary)
Mozilla BXE, Kupu BXE
IE Kupu Xopus
