TinyMCE also has RDFa support last I heard:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinymce

ITs LGPL rather than AGPL.

Furthermore there is Hallo Editor under the MIT license:
https://github.com/bergie/hallo

if it had a plugin for image insertion, hallo would be a very interesting option. then the symfony cmf asset management could integrate with such a plugin. i think that would be better (easier?) than changing aloha to integrate with that asset management component.

There are quite a few editors with less limiting licenses, but Aloha is the one with a nice UX.

Hallo is still mostly in a proof-of-concept stage, but I hope it'll become a nice alternative for those who need a completely non-intrusive, minimalistic editor that has license allowing it to use where ever.

Here is a bit about Hallo's goals:

Anyway, great to see VIE in Symfony CMF. If there is anything you need help with, just let me know!

I recently found Mercury jejacks0n.github.com/mercury/ and I really like the different approach. I am planning to give it a try and I would love to see it in a Symfony CMF! (no, I dont have any share in it ;-)

hey, that looks interesting. atm, i think we have to leave it up to somebody who wants to try to integrate mercury.
the no IE support is a no-go for a default editor, we hope to do projects in a business context where (even older versions of) IE will be around.
but it would be great if somebody wants to play around with integrating mercury. in a couple of years when IE supports HTML5 (or has finally left the market :-) this could be a good option for general-purpose projects too.

I haven't been able to see Vie in action in the CMF Sandbox. I even searched inside for VIE.EntityManager and other code to no avail. I'm not sure where it's supposed to go.

I don't think I missed a step during installation of the sandbox. It runs.

Let me know,
Jarvis

i think the problem is that currently it will only work if you have the coffee script compiler installed. which in turn needs node.js :-(
i am trying to clean this up so it will work again.

ok, it is not that easy because VIE got a full rewrite since we started...

but for now we just added the legacy vie.js and supporting files to the repository. if you have coffee enabled, things will just work after running
bin/vendors install

if you don't have coffee, you can change the vendor/bundles/Liip/VieBundle/Controller/VieController.php
to use LiipVieBundle::includejsfiles-hallo.html.twig instead of LiipVieBundle::includecoffeefiles-hallo.html.twig

Thanks! I will check it out! Keep up the great work.

I wish people would stop making half assed bundles like this and then publishing them. We need a way to discover bundles that are fully working bundles.

@SF2: thats not very constructive feedback. if something does not work for you, then please fix it and send a pull request. and if you can't then open an issue and describe what your problem is. ranting around won't help you a bit.
