Better documentation

This fork of Hallo seems to have a lot more features than the master (as well as being more actively maintained), however there is no clear prebuilt JS file and no dependency information - i.e the cite plugin seems to fail (because ICiteProc is not defined).

I've had a cursory look at both @bergie's and @git-j's latest repositories and the code bases are practically incompatible because of the changes git-j did to the plugin interface. @bergie also seems to have migrated to jQuery-1.10 interface whereas @git-j stuck to the older functions (like bind(), andSelf() etc.)

also, @git-j has comments like "this is hacky way but it works" all over the place. Yet his fork has more features like undo, table/image inserts etc..

all in all, it's a tough choice :)

Also, trying to merge @git-j's master into @bergie's turns up huge conflict blocks all over the place.

[git-j]

this repository is used for a product widget. It is stuck on JQuery-1.6 and introduces concepts that did not exist in the original (eg dropdownforms). The goal is to have a customizable editor for a Qt-Webkit based contenteditable with no consideration on how this would work in chrome/firefox or ie and any other environment than the specific widget.
You may review the plugins and fork them for your use. When you like to build 'your own' product, it is more save to fork @bergie instead and build the plugins as required.

just found out that hallo may be discontinued because the original purpose as IKS tool has been outlived: "Midgard in IKS Hackathon in Helsinki:[10] the IKS project[11] makes use of the Aloha Editor API and implemented a semantic annotation plugin[12]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Editor

that's too bad. aloha is gpl.
