Epoz 1.0 released! The Epoz team is proud to present version 1.0 of Epoz, a 'document-centric' client-side editor for Mozilla, Netscape and Internet Explorer. Epoz is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor written in JavaScript, and was originally created by Maik Jablonski. This version has been completely rewritten by Paul Everitt, Guido Wesdorp and Philipp von Weitershausen (and several other contributors, for a complete list refer to the CVS log on Sourceforge). The objective of the rewrite was to improve stability and extensibility and make it usable as an editor for content management platforms such as Silva. Epoz can be also used in combination with Zope, Plone (although integration code won't be complete until version 1.1) and all webservers that support the HTTP PUT command. The Epoz rewrite was sponsored by Infrae, the makers of Silva. Epoz is: o Easy to integrate - Epoz can be easily integrated into Zope based servers as well as non-Zope webservers. Currently there is integration code for Zope 2, Zope 3, and Silva. We hope to add code for integrating Epoz into Apache, MMBase, Interchange, and more in the near future. o Easy to customize and extend - Epoz can be customized and extended in several ways. For simple modifications much of the configuration can be set as attributes on the editor iframe, while buttons, tools and layout can be changed via the CSS. For larger customizations there's a simple JavaScript plugin API, and also the core has a clean and solid architecture to allow full extensibility. o High-tech and up-to-date - Epoz uses CSS in favor of HTML for layout and presentation. It supports asynchronous saving to the server. It sets event handlers from code instead of from the HTML (excepting the toolbar), which makes the code a lot cleaner. It uses DOM functionality to build up HTML. On those and other fronts it tries to use the most modern standardized techniques available on all supported browsers to ensure a good user-experience and clean code. Epoz can be downloaded from the project page on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/epoz There is a mailinglist: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/epoz-development as well as an issuetracker to report bugs: http://codespeak.net/issues/epoz/ If you have a bug to report, please post it on the issuetracker after first checking it hasn't already been reported. If you'd like to contribute to Epoz, either with JavaScript patches or plugins or with integration code, or if you have a question or remark, please post a message on the mailinglist. The Epoz team would like to thank the following people and organizations: - Maik Jablonski for starting the project and inspiration - Infrae for sponsoring the project - The ETH university in Zürich for feedback and sponsoring Infrae - Holger Krekel for allowing us to use his infrastructure - All beta testers and everybody who has contributed to the project We hope Epoz is a nice experience and that you will enjoy using it as much as we did writing it! Cheers, the Epoz team .
