what about the integration of wmd editor to this module - http://wmd-editor.com/
I think this will allow lots of new users and especially website content managers with Markdown

Title: wmd-editor » Integrate with wmd-editor

Well, I looked at the editor. It is a fairly simple Markdown editor, which might be good to have as a separate contributed module with which Markdown filter could integrate with. I also looked at http://code.google.com/p/wmd/ and it looks like this is released under an MIT license, which might complicate integrating it, especially for those who install it, since MIT code is not allowed to be hosted on drupal.org (not that any other 3rd party code is suggested to be hosted at all).

fwiw - MIT licensed code can be re-licensed to GPL so the only thing stopping it is hosting 3rd party code...

But that is not a big blocker since people can always download the code into a specific directory

WMD doesn't appear to support Markdown Extra, which the module Markdown does. So that's another reason I'd say it should be separate.

I agree someone would need to create a separate WMD module before Markdown can be made to work with it. In fact, that may not require any change to this module at all.
