[Radiant] Interest in a WYSIWYG plugin

[Sean Cribbs]

Dror et al,

Yes that's what I was saying, if you reread ;). Plugins!

Mislav, this could become similar to the Dave Thomas/DHH thing about 
composite primary keys.  Essentially, some people need WYSIWYG in their 
scenario and they should develop it and use it.  That doesn't mean it 
has to be in the core, and it doesn't mean that Radiant needs to change 
its focus.  While I think your passion for Textile and Markdown is 
great, some users would hate being forced to use something that doesn't 
look like a word processor.... just keep that in mind.  One size doesn't 
fit all which is why there are so bloody many CMS products out there.  
Radiant isn't for everyone and we love it that way :-D.
