Short Demo: A Better Experience with the new FCKeditor

3 Comments »

While we put the finishing touches on the 8.08.1 release (coming soon!), I thought I’d take the time to talk about some of the usability improvements in the “Kilen Woods” (8.08) release, one of them being the switch from the old Xinha editor to the new FCKeditor. If the words “double scroll bars” make you break out into a cold sweat, then this improvement is sure to calm your fears!

In this week’s short demo video, I compare the two editors, showing you why the FCKeditor provides a much smoother experience when editing your pages in Deki.

Although MindTouch Deki is better known for its integration capabilities, we also know that it’s also important not to neglect the editors who are contributing. We tested the floating toolbar extensively before release, and we love the changes! We hope you like these editor changes as much as we do, and if you want more information, check out the Kilen Woods release notes page.
