We finally found some time today to work on the WYMeditor Safari implementation, with Safari 3.1.1 for Windows under Ubuntu + Wine (sic).

The new Webkit support for designMode is a huge step forward compared to previous versions - main 'standard' features work out of the box, without the need of tricky hacks like before.

So most of WYMeditor commands have been ported to Safari: strong, em, lists, links, images, tables, containers, classes, ... and even nested lists! It's not perfect of course - bugs remain - but it's already quite usable (well, I hope there won't be too much issues with the Mac version).

For those interested, a nightly build is available. Please be aware that this is alpha software. Some example pages aren't up-to-date.

Thanks to Scott Lewis for his help on this.

The eighth FOSDEM is a two-day event organized by volunteers to promote the widespread use of Free and Open Source software.

Taking place in the beautiful city of Brussels (Belgium), FOSDEM meetings are recognized as "The best Free Software and Open Source events in Europe".

I'm (of course) going to FOSDEM (again) this year, on Sunday 24 February.

FYI, a LinkedIn group has been created for those who will attend the event.

There's also a FOSDEM channel on fidzu available for your enjoyment.

And last but not least, Emakina, the company I work for, is an official FOSDEM sponsor, and is hiring...
