Fragment of a discussion from Archive talk:OntoLTS

For the sake of adding to the movement, like Vladimir, I'm also particularly interested in WYSIWYG. Right now, I'm stuck at MW 1.16 because it works (the most) reliably with SF 2.4 / FCKEditor. I've played with MW updates and associated SMW extension updates, and they have a lot of cool features that I can use immediately, but unfortunately most of my contributors need the editor. As it stands, I'm once again considering moving to MW 1.17 just to get the current OntoLTS installed... but with 1.20 out and stable, and semantic bundle about to not care about mw 1.17, I'm not crazy about that plan.

As far as I can tell, the WYSIWYG functionality exceeds the planned fuunctionality of the new VisualEditor, particularly in the area of Word import... though obviously roadmaps may change.

I'm probably too new and too busy to contribute, but if I can I will.

Take care. Sal

Please understand that SMW+ extensions have many interfaces to both MW and SMW. Sure there'll be those that work with MW 1.18+ also, but I think it's important for our present goals to be focused on MW LTS version, with express understanding that all SMW+ extensions must work with the most recent, and all legacy, SMW versions.

I'm not bothered by SemBundle's policy that its deployment is without regard to MW LTS, but I'd be a bit surprised to hear that it'll reach a point that it can't be installed on MW 1.17.
