Products.TinyMCE 1.3 is not ready to be released, but we are advancing: PLIP was submitted by Tom Gross (kudos!) to include Products.TinyMCE 1.3 into Plone 4.3 release. Upcoming Friday (18th of May), Plone tuneup will be focused on fixing TinyMCE bugs and cleaning up the bug tracker. I will attend tuneup and will focus on answering questions regarding Products.TinyMCE. Join #plone-tuneup on irc.freenode.net to participate! Second week of July 2012, another awesome Plone sprint will happen. This year we are traveling to Belgium to do some proper beer driven development. My focus will be Products.TinyMCE and GSOC2012 Pylons Organization work on Substance D. Cheers, Domen

Wow, a lot has happened since my last blog post. Highlight of the July being the Sauna Sprint 2011! Tom Gross worked on improving TinyMCE integration with JQuery plugin, javascript combiner and compressor. Now plain Plone 4 production site has 1/3 less requests in edit mode. Kai Lautaportti refactored ploneimage.js from stratch with JQuery, no globals, documentation and jslint. Roel Bruggink was really helpful with improving user stories and overall experience. Also thanks to Peter Čuhalev for work on amazing redesign of image/link browser dialogs. His work was kindly sponsored by Hexagon IT, you guys rock! If you do like his contribution, it's best to offer him more proper open source craziness.

University was quite successfully killing my overall productivity. Past week was grand finale, so I'm completely back to TinyMCE and Plone. For few past weeks I was working on upgrading TinyMCE to version 3.4.3 (Plone currently uses version back from 2009). Fully automated upgrade procedure is now as easy as running a shell script. Upgrade was twice (or more) as painful as I originally anticipated. During upgrade many walls were hit and I questioned the whole approach. The conclusion is more or less: this is not maintainable. Few thoughts:

Another year, another Google Summer of Code, another project! This time I'm working on most needed and used part of CMS — text editor. Following has been done on Products.TinyMCE: pep8-ified the product ported all doctests to unit/integration tests added product to jenkins with coverage/pep8/lint reports on Plone 4.0/4.1/3.0 wrote specifications for new UX of image/link browser in TinyMCE and forwarded it to Peter Čuhalev for mockups Next week, I will work on current tickets at plone.org tracker. Time to shoot some bugs!
