</div>It hasn't progressed much. There are a number of technical difficulties about<br>
fixing bugs in the javascript editor, integrating the rich text in the wiki<br>
page, working with existing wiki pages, working with mixed richtext/wikitext<br>
pages, upgrading/downgrading, working with page sections, working with<br>
uploads/files/attachments, autosuggesting internal links etc. Once the<br>
difficulties overcome, it should be a piece of cake. :-)<br>
<br>
At the moment nobody is paid to work on this feature, so there are no contract<br>
deadlines. It will progress as fast as I find "free" time and I decide to<br>
spend it working on the RichText editor instead of doing something else. :-)<br>
<br>
That said, I very much appreciated all the comments and ideas that people on<br>
the list gave me. I'll use them.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
