I've been searching these forums, but can't find a link I can use to help our government agency feel comfortable using CKEditor on an internal site.
Plenty of posts claiming WCAG compliance but i can't point to a forum post to prove anything. I can't seem to find the actual official certification.
Even better than a link to a certificate on ckeditor.com would be a "government" site which shows CKEditor is on an approved software list.
Can anyone here help me find the perfect link(s) to convince our software security department CKEditor is safe for use by the U.S. government?
Thanks!
I don't believe we have a
I don't believe we have a certificate, per say, but accessibility was implemented in close cooperation with IBM as part of an agreement. It was added to meet their requirements.

While that is nice, the U.S. Government will only allow software which does no put the U.S. at risk. The key concern is that our data must remain "our" data. Agencies to do code reviews and analyze 3rd party software to ensure data integrity is not compromised. This can be expensive and I was hoping to reference work done by another "government" agency so we do not need to spend time/money doing another review.
Do you know ANY government agency using CKEditor?
Maybe it's used in other products we have in-house!
Do you know if CKEditor is used in any of these products?
Just out of curiosity, which
Just out of curiosity, which certificates are you referring to? You can see how we are compliant here:
http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Accessibility_Compliance/Web_Content_Accessibility_Guidelines

Each country has its own set of compliances, so it's hard to accommodate everyone.
Our products are used in SharePoint - we even have a special version for it - but not sure about the other ones you mentioned. Most government agencies use third-parties to buy and implement our products - companies like shi.com. As for government agencies, yes, hundreds from around the world, including various US departments and the military, including corporations with major US military contracts. I can't give you specifics. That would be careless, but if you PM me your agency I could check if you haven't already bought our products. Some departments are so compartmentalized they redundantly buy the same license...

The system does not allow me to PM you... maybe i'm too new.
Thanks for the links!
We have a lot of SharPoint here, but after digging through the page source files, I do not see anything pointing to CKEditor
I also found that TestTrack Pro uses TinyMCE and they make no attempts to hide it from people, so it was easy to spot when looking at the page source.
based on that, I have to go with what will cost the government less :-(
