[bx-editor-dev] New Features in BXE

[Christian Stocker]

Hi

Despite the quite calm list here, we're busy working on BXE making 1.0 
ready.

We added some cool new features to the latest snapshots:

- Image Selection with the drawer library from kupu

go to http://cvsdemo.bitfluxeditor.org/examples/inlineXHTML/
click on "Edit this Article" then click on the editable text. Now click 
on the image button on the top and see the new thing in action ;)
Image Upload is currently missing, we will do an interface for that soon.
Thanks to the guys from kupu (http://kupu.oscom.org) for this cool 
feature. We try to work more together with kupu in the future and will 
maybe add more stuff from kupu and contribute back to them.

- Plugin support:

The so-called ImageDrawer is implemented as a plugin. The interface is 
quite simple right now, see 
http://cvs.bitflux.ch/chora/co.php/trunk/plugins/Drawer.js?rt=svneditor&r=671 
for an example. and 
http://cvs.bitflux.ch/chora/co.php/trunk/examples/inlineXHTML/config.xml?rt=svneditor&r=670 
for the corresponding config.xml tags.

- More advanced Button definitions.

Buttons can now not only trigger events, but also call functions and 
insertElements. See 
http://wiki.bitfluxeditor.org/index.php/ButtonDefinitions for more details

- Switch to Subversion:

We ditched CVS and use Subversion from now on. Instructions for that can 
be found at http://www.bitfluxeditor.org/download/cvs/

- Roadmap

We are currently discussing, where BXE should head to and are looking 
for input. We started with a little Roadmap at 
http://wiki.bitfluxeditor.org/index.php/RoadMap . If you have anything 
to say or any ideas what's missing, just write it in the wiki or write 
an email to this mailinglist.

- Who's using BXE?

Last but not least, we'd like to know, who's using BXE or is planning to 
use it soon. We will publish this list then on the webpage (if you don't 
want to have your site published, but nevertheless let us know, we're 
fine with that). So please tell us, if you're using BXE.

That's it and as already said, we'd always like to hear from you
