Editor or Media Manager Plans for Joomla 3?

[Steve]

The editor and the Media Manager in Joomla 2.5 come in for heavy criticism in this article:

http://www.cmscritic.com/joomla-2-5-review/2/

Do we have plans for improvement that could be mentioned?

[Karlos Rikaryo]

It is my friends agree with Mike Johnston when he speaks of the Media Manager, imagine if it is check the version of media manager for Joomla! 1.5 that sends photo by photo because the flash function of the transmission problem still gave the first versions 1.5.x

Clearly the Media Manager and Frontpage were the features that had less improvement

If you code it and put it into the feature tracker  I bet it will get a close look. Refactoring media manager was on the idea list for GSoC but we didn't get any takers on it. It's a great project for someone looking to have a huge impact.

I don't understand why JCE is not added to the core in regards to
Editor, it is a stable and well maintained project and probably the
best one out there. I just cannot imagine anyone doing anything better
in a short period of time.

[Aaron Wood]

I think it said in the idea pool that the JCE creator doesn't want it in the
core.

Adam:

The one of the main reasons is because the developer of JCE has explicitly stated he would not want the JCE code to become core. Folks have been saying this for years, but JCE has seen some really great improvement the last few years in terms of features; I don't think this would be possible if the core had adopted the code. I believe the pro-version of JCE has allowed this to happen.

Could it be time to revisit this?

Just the Image Manager button alone from JCE would solve a lot of Joomla's media problems and would still leave Ryan with a viable, innovative business.

I personally think its too complicated for most people. The image manager has a lot of options, can load slowly on low-bandwidth connections and, honestly, is one of the main draws of JCE. I think you'd kill his business.

I'd like to move the discussion back to talking about improvements to the core media manager (many of which I'm sure extension developers such as Ryan would be happy to take advantage of).

1. SInce 2.5 was released we've added the JImage package to the platform. This allows resizing, cropping etc. If someone would take on incorporating that it would be awesome. 

2. Can we come up with a better way to do multiple file upload so that we can turn it on by default without fear?

3. The media field that we use right now to insert images in specific locations (the images fields in articles and in descriptions for example) already has the options to store an asset_id and created_by.
 https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform/blob/staging/libraries/legacy/form/field/media.php#L48

Why not use them to track ownership of media and activity? In other words why not have a media table that has the media name, created_by and created_date at least? Then we could use edit.own not to mention shut down users uploading unacceptable media without having to do log detective work.

Just a few thoughts. I'm sure there are many other specific things people could take on to implement.

The HTML5 multiple file upload added in 2.5.5 should be on by default. We need to add progressbars and some other features before we can kill flash.
