Hmm, are you aware of http://sf.net/projects/epoz? Appearently the
development of Epoz continues there. They just released Epoz 1.0.
Here comes my suggestion:
Description: Epoz is a client-side WYSIWYG editor for Zope
Epoz is a client-side WYSIWYG editor for Zope/CMF/Plone. Developers
can integrate Epoz in their Zope/CMF/Plone sites and allow users
editing of content in a document-centric way. Epoz can be used with
with all browsers supporting a rich text widget (e.g. browsers based on
Mozilla >= 1.3.1. Also works for MSIE >= 5.5).
Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/epoz
The mentioning of IE doesn't promote the use of this browser. It's the
other way around: From the viewpoint of the Zope/CMF/Plone developer
who's reading this description, the mentioning of IE promotes the use of
Epoz! If we would not mention that Epoz works on IE, that would be a
reason for the Zope/CMF/Plone developer to not consider using Epoz.
If you really don't want to mention IE by name, then change the
description to something like "supported by most modern browsers"...
