[pLog-general] Some discussion in drupal

[Oscar Renalias]

They are indeed free to do whatever they want, but they've got a lot
of help in testing releases, patches feedback, and useful suggestions,
and suddenly the decide to shut down the project and go back to a
proprietary model leaving all the people who were using htmlarea in a
really uncomfortable situation-. If it wasn't for Xinha, thanks to the
htmlarea folks we would already be facing a few weeks of work to adapt
a new wysiwyg editor into plog... Not nice, if you ask me.

Anyway, if you can research into Xinha, please do it. We're not likely
to change anytime before 1.1 so we've got plenty of time :)
