Hello,

Congratulations on LocalWiki, that is really great!
In HTML5 editor category you should check out Aloha Editor as well:
http://aloha-editor.org

My favorite demos:
http://aloha-editor.org/demos/css3/ (*everyone* should check out this one!
Of course its useless but fun :)
http://aloha-editor.org/demos/wordpress-demo/
http://aloha-editor.org/demos/960-fluid-demo/

I've just started to study their plugin system, which looks promising. My
painful experience with TinyMCE and other RTE-s and also with the old wiki
editor is that if you cannot make your custom stuff fit in a standard
plugin (which is too often the case), it will be very hard to upgrade
later. So IMO if you go for future-proofness you should check the
customization options.

Best,
Mihály Héder
