    TWIMC.
    So, I bring this topic up again. I know that the official MODX sites are being reworked. What is the ETA?
    Can I volunteer and help, as Brian Regan says, to flip the switch? I can delete a thing or two, free of charge?

    I am talking in regard the Extras Listing in the MODX repo.
    Why is TinyMCE version BigBang still available for download?
    Why is it number one?
    Why is there any trace of it on modx.com?
    Why is it still allowed to mislead hundreds of new/old users by night and day?
    Why is still allowed to cause even non-users like me anguish?

    At this rate, many would agree that action is worth more than a thousand words.
    So, I am opting to volunteer myself and everyone else capable to help out clean out what needs to be cleaned

    Exactly 24 minutes ago, the legend, *Bob Ray*, made this comment:
    The original MODX TinyMCE extra has caused plenty of anguish over the years, so you're not alone.

        Well the best alternative is Redactor and while I love it, it is paid ... Is there another free alternative?

              TinymceWrapper version 3 is coming hot and very soon.
              Think about a good dream come real.

              And it is ready for content blocking.

              And no more looking for how to customize the already "easily" customizable extra ...
              It is coming with its own sweet manager.

              It's a good year, folks, a great year!

                And it is ready for content blocking.

                ...

                Eh, newbie question here: what is content blocking?

                Also, if I've understood things correctly - and I'm using NewsPublisher, which has it's own RTE - then installing the upcomming TinymceWrapper v3 will make formatting possible in the manager - but will this cause problems if files are being edited in both the front and back end of the site (not at the same time, just consecutively)? Like, if the two different RTEs format the text differently?

                  The two will work just fine. TinymceWrapper can get fed the exact same TinyMCE config you are using in the frontend.
                  Nice and seamless.

                  Content blocking is when the editor turns itself into an interface that enables you to arrange your content into segments, blocks.
                  This mode will not be compatible with just plain default TinyMCE output.
