We’re a bit late on this. Marius has just released the CKEditor integration v1.5 and he’s started working on version 1.6 which will have http://bit.ly/1riiehU : - insert/edit macros - admin UI section - ability to replace the default GWT editor The goal is to release 1.6 at the same time as XWiki 8.1 final. > * Starting 8.1M2, the goal would be to bundle the Extension in the > distribution (default flavor) but to not make it the default yet.

We won’t bundle it by default in XWiki 8.1 but starting with version 1.6 it should be considered as a usable replacement of the GWT editor and you should be able to use it instead of the GWT editor. > * Starting 8.2, if all goes alright, we would set the CKEditor WYSIWYG to be > the default (still with ability for admins to configure the editor they wish > to use so they can continue to use the GWT-based one if they want that). We’re still planning to bundle it by default in XWiki 8.2 and even making it the default and deprecating the GWT one. > * Starting 9.0, the idea would be to remove the GWT-editor and retire it to > XWiki Contrib with instructions for advanced developers to build it and use > it in XWiki should they still want to do that.
