Writley clone ?

Hi

I am looking to build a Writely clone (now Google docs). This is for an internal company project. I was going to use the FCKEditor. I was wondering if anyone else had used it in this way? or knew of a solution?

Also can the FCKEditor be used in a Java desktop application using something Swing etc or is only for browsers ?

Thanks

RE: Writley clone ?

Well if you mean can it be used to load, edit and save XHTML content, then yes it can. Not sure exactly which aspects of Writely you want to emulate, but FCK works well as a formatted content editor.

However FCKEditor does need to be run in a browser (and IE or Firefox at that) ... you may be able to write a desktop app that embeds a browser object - I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't work (as long as you are embedding IE or Gecko).
