We've been aware for a long time that the javascript / DOM editing 'window' caused big usability problems for KNotes. Replacing it has taken some effort, but we're almost there with much improved solutions. I have to spend a lot of today on (sigh, yet again) admin, but I truly expect to be demoing alternatives in the NGRF testbed by mid-afternoon friday at the latest.

Some of the solutions are straight, accessible html - but they should load somewhat faster than most plone edit forms because they can avoid the rendering and markup load of the navigational context ( we can simplify the edit pages to remove much of that context ). Where possible, we're including simplest-case reply forms in the pages a user would be replying to, saving the roundtrip otherwise required to load the form. Some other solutions will be 'ajaxian', but will be much lighter-weight and more usable than the existing 'pswin' - and none will expect the user to drag dom elements around the page :o)

The replacement solution will be introduced in batches of cases, starting with reply, add-blog-entry and edit entry.

Back with a more complete update this time tomorrow.

By the way, this also mean that we are finally inches away from removing the fast-folders product dependency! hooray!
