I just downloaded the latest SVN today and I noticed that CKEditor is no longer available via package management. Is this just temporary or is CKEditor permanently out?
I really like the new and improved TinyMCE (Especially how easy it is to add class via the "Styles" drop down menu), but there are a couple of key features that I miss from CKEditor.
1. There was a button in CKEditor that would outline all block level Elements - this is a really helpful feature for end users.
2. I can’t seem to nest block-level elements in TinyMCE. For example, a user may to want to create multiple modules using a div (with a certain class) to contain each one, and then put paragraphs and images inside the div. I can’t figure out how to do that with TinyMCE.
3. CKEditor is a little bit prettier, but that’s just aesthetics not really important.

God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world.
CKEditor had major problems with firing events, handling multiple instances at one time, and ’sync’ing the content to the hidden textarea underneath it; so I *temporarily* discontinued it for the time. If someone can fix the bugs inherent in its implementation, then we’d be back on track with it.
A main one being that if you clicked ’Source View’, it stopped syncing content (because apparently clicking source view removes all JS handlers).
TinyMCE seems to be a bit more stable- although there is definitely room for improvement. We welcome help in this regard.

Anyone planning on getting CKEditor working for Revolution? I don’t have time for it, but it would be a great addition.
