I think I might be one of the most informed people about all of the issues in all of the versions of TinyMCE enabling modules and I am willing to continue maintaining this module as time allows, but I understand the importance of error free WYSIWYG toolbars on Drupal's success. If there is someone who is informed and has more time wants to take over, I'm not opposed to that.
I think we're pretty much set with having per-tag maintainers. It would be great if you could be the "owner" of the TinyMCE project node, maintain the 5.2 tag, and have Allie / Steve maintain the 5.1 branch. Let's just settle on that and never speak of these dark times again :P Ideally, we can converge on best practices going forward (5.3, The Reunion Tag).
I have no problem working with other developers, but my attempts to discuss my POV with Allie basically led to name calling. I use features from the previous version of 5.1 that I'd like maintained. If the Moxie group (and now possibly drupal-id) doesn't care about those features, then I agree with Dries and that modules should fork and the better feature set will win out.
Err....no, there was no name calling: there were clear points of view why the existing features HAD to be editable through the web UI -- from ease of use to multisite compatability.
IMHO, including drupal-id in these conversations isn't productive. The responses I've gotten from Jonathan (and/or Wendy) have been less than productive. I understand that there is a language barrier, but the communication issues go beyond that.
He/She/whatever is out. Gerhard removed the JS files from TinyMCE plus.
I would REALLY like to discuss this in some way other than email or in the issue queues with the people involved. Is anyone interested in finding the time for a multiuser iChat or Skype audio conference?
borismann on Skype, or call me. But I think we've got it settled if you're OK with this. BTW -- thanks for taking the time for this long write up.
