 ## Why (or Why Not) Editize?
 
 Editize was a product of its time. First released on May 17th, 2002 (after its former life as Octopus, a WYSIWYG editor for the proprietary markup format used by the content management system of sitepoint.com), it was developed as a Java applet because the JavaScript capabilities of the web browsers of the time (which still included Netscape Navigator 4 and Internet Explorer 4) were not yet sophisticated enough to support WYSIWYG editing of HTML content.
