CKEditor 10 Year Anniversary!
It's official! CKEditor is 10 years old! Exactly a decade ago I endeavored on a JavaScript project for Internet Explorer 6 (WAT!) bearing my initials (I was young and crazy). The result was an Open Source WYSIWYG editor called FCKeditor, later CKEditor (find the easter egg on our home page!). Time sure flew by... Today we are celebrating the editor's 10th anniversary!
Presently CKEditor has over 9 million downloads and is used in countless applications and websites. The editor has come a long way, from being a one man project to having an international team of contributors around the world. We had good and bad days and faced numerous challenges, but our growing community always gave us inspiration to move forward. I would like to thank everyone involved for their dedication and hard work.
To celebrate this great success, CKSource will be sponsoring various activities over the next few weeks. Parties, donations, contests, free stuff, tree hugging, we'll have it all! Join in on the fun and celebrate CKEditor's 10 Year Anniversary with us. You all deserve it!
