[jQuery] "Port" FCK/TinyMCE to jQuery

[jQuery] "Port" FCK/TinyMCE to jQuery


I've been using TinyMCE to build a CMS that's also being built around
jQuery for other functionality, and I got to thinking, a lot of the
TinyMCE code is simply replicating functionality that's already in
jQuery (DOM selectors. XHR, etc), so has anybody tried to remove this
stuff from the MCE codebase and use the jQuery implementations
instead?
Additionally, how about using jQuery functionality to attach editors
to controls? For example $('textarea').tinyMCE () to attach editors
to all elements, or $('#myEditor').tinyMCE to replace just a specific
instance. You could use any CSS rule you wanted to determine where an
editor should be created in theory.
And how about using jQuery UI to implement MCE's inline popup
windows?
I do know there's WYM, which is built on jQuery, but that's very early
on in its development and also appears to have stalled.
