I wrote up something in the forums about this: http://drupal.org/node/18567
Key points: * HTMLArea external "community" is shut down
I would have to agree here,
* HTMLArea is under a modified BSD license, so should prob. be removed from contrib (just the HTMLArea part, not the Drupal module)
As apart of the 4.6 release I am going to be removing HTMLArea from cvs.
* get in touch if you want to further develop rich text editing in Drupal, likely to be based on FCKEditor
Even though the HTMLArea project has effectively stopped, a fork of the project has been started called Xinha, which I am actively in the process of making the required changes to enable this fork to work. It has had alot of bugs fixed, and is much more reliable that HTMLArea ever was. I am not far from doing this, but I just want to make sure that not having a version of HTMLArea present in the distribution will not cause too many problems. I am hoping this to happen in the next week, I am very close to getting it complete. -- Gordon Heydon <gordon@heydon.com.au>
