[geeklog-devel] Editor for Gl2 Content Plugin

[Damien Hodgkin]

Obviously I want to try to go the easiest route possible. Of course if I end 
up getting an overwhelming amount of "FCKEditor is the way to go" then I am 
going to implement it. I am going to start playing around with FCKEditor 
tomorrow and do a personal analysis of the pros and cons of both it and 
TinyMCE. I will most likely post a comparison of the two editors on my blog.
