Hi!

[For the from-scratch realm at least] I think the toolbar can still be
simplified a lot:

Currently the "Edit" menu reads:

Edit
----
Open with > WYSIWYG Editor > Edit page with Xinha
                              Edit page with TinyMCE
                              Edit page with Yulup[1]
             Source Editor[2]

Revisions > 0123456789012 (DD/MM/YY, HH:mm, draft)[3] > [...]
                                                       > Show more details
                                                       > [...]
             1234567890123 (DD/MM/YY, HH:mm, null)
             [...]


[1] this only links to the Yulup homepage, maybe we could craft some JS
that checks if Yulup is installed and then run it on the page (or at
least explain where one needs to click to do so!) or else go to the
Yulup homepage?
[2] This is always greyed out, I suppose this has never been
implemented? Anyway AFAICR both TinyMCE and Xinha support this.
[3] The date format does not seems to depend on the locale, and it looks
so '90ies! :P I wonder what the timezone is here. The toolbar does not
look translated at least in the from-scratch realm anyway.

I suggest the following:

Edit
----
Edit page (using Xinha)
Edit page (using TinyMCE)
Get Yulup to edit pages

and a separate menu just to the right of the former:

Revisions
---------
last published: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm (1234567890123)
YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm, draft (0123456789012) > [...]
                                         > More details
                                         > [...]
YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm (1234567890123)
[...]


Also maybe we should also fix
http://bugzilla.wyona.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6920 (if not
done already) to simplify workflows further.

WDYT?


Cheers,
    Guillaume
