The Wysiwyg [1] project along with a working group [2] was initiated to create a contrib module that shall act as a controller (and integration) for any RTE/Wysiwyg editor. Most of the current maintainers of editor integration modules in contrib have already expressed their interest. Furthermore, the goal for Wysiwyg is to have a central API for editor plugins that are provided by Drupal contrib modules (aka. external plugins), like Image Assist, Asset, aso. So, if a Wysiwyg editor is enabled for a textarea, a plugin button should be displayed in its toolbar, otherwise a plugin button should be displayed below a plain-text textarea. In addition, all of these inserted contents should be editable afterwards. However, this requires us to have a generic/default way of inserting contents generated by other Drupal modules into a textarea -- and this is, where Inline API [3] comes into the game. I'm working concurrently on these efforts. Unfortunately, building these APIs to support every textarea in Drupal, every editor, and every possible use-case is a quite complex task and requires studying a lot of modules in contrib. My personal goal is to have both projects at least in a beta state in 2008. Of course, any help is appreciated.
