I just came across FCKeditor and the demo blew me away. It seems to do everything I can imagine I will need and the blurb promises an easy set-up etc., but getting started brings me up against a brick wall of a learning curve.
I found documentation (after clicking every available link on the home page - none of which are labelled 'documentation') hidden away in a wiki under a different domain. The documents allude to 2 target readers: developers and end users.
Now, the "developers" content seems to be aimed at people with suitable skills who want to develop the FCKeditor product and/or extras. That's not me. I just want to use it on a web site I'm building.
So, I check the "end users" content, and find it seems to aimed at people with no developer skills but who will use the FCKeditor component in a web page. That's not me either. I want to integrate FCKeditor in my web site so that content can be modified online instead of having to edit and upload fresh source code for pages.
So, where do I go for some basic help along the lines of
- What's the minimal set of files I need to include in my web site to enable FCKeditor to be used in my pages?
-
What's the minimal syntax I need to write in my HTML mark-up to get a FCKeditor text area into my user form? -
What are the minimal settings I need to edit (and where are they) for the proper working of FCKeditor in my web site?

Re: Getting started
I am in the same boat as you, so post back if you get any clue how this stuff works.
I am designing a site for a client who wants to edit text and upload video/images.
Have you seen Flyspeck? It's similar, according to the dreamweaver forum, but it costs $35.
Thanks!
