Replace the existing Rich Text Editor to support latest browsers and to provide more features.

Problem Statement

The current rich text editor has following issues:

  • hard to update for the modern browsers such as Chrome, Safari, IE9
  • lack of basic functionality such as changing text color
  • many MT based solutions use the other OSS rich editors instead

It should be replaced by either of TinyMCE or CKEditor.
