Are there any plans to integrate XStandard as an option for WYSIWYG editor? I see it's listed among the components, but not on the main project page. I would gladly make a donation if this editor is supported.

Not yet. If that is a commercial editor, we need a free license for Wysiwyg API maintainers.

There is a Free and also a Pro version. There's also an existing Xstandard module for Drupal 6 so I think it'd be best to integrate with that one or maybe the other way around, I haven't studied the internal workings of either module in detail yet.

Is there any idea if this is going to be implemented at some stage?

Yes, I'm researching for solutions that eat lesser server resources, so a desktop/browser side plug-in seems to be the solution. I haven't seen another like (the quality of) XStandard, so this seems the best for now. There is another module http://drupal.org/project/xstandard but I like to have it under this module WYSIWYG for other features.

Here some info I've gathered:

* http://wi-ca.org/Internet_security#Firefox_Browser

Then I just might have found other browser/desktop editors:

(I have temporary made the topic active, just for reviewing the new info, then to postpone again...)

@ClearXS: While client-side editors requiring client-side software installation can be supported by Wysiwyg, this is the utterly wrong place to "discuss" this. In general, you are welcome to contribute new editor integration support files. But as long as you only want to discuss or request the addition of a new one, the issue queue is the wrong place for that. For that sake, we're going to close down all other existing editor integration feature requests in the next weeks that do not contain any patches.

OK; I've copied the info to the subsequent groups, like for the WYSIWYG group:
Desktop/browser editors - Drupal WYSIWYG & specific modules (further discussion there)

Not having knowledge of php programming, so I won't be able to contribute new editor integration support files. But yes, for the future: Drupal, browsers, desktop and editors should be an integrated system.
