Subject: [slightly off-topic] Sponsoring kupu features...

I wasn't sure what proper etiquette for this list is, so forgive this post
being slightly off topic...

I'm wondering if anybody out there is interested in doing sponsored work to
add features to Kupu's Plone integration, and perhaps to kupu in general.
I've outlined a wish list of kupu/Plone integration features we would like
to have. Please backchannel me to discuss if interested.

1. support for snippets functionality in Plone/AT as add on product for Kupu
(a) AT snippets content type
(b) Drawer to browse for snippets (documents) to include
(c) Functionality to drop in HTML snippet at cursor location in iframe
(d) [optional/future] extend this infrastructure to
support macro (js/dom code) snippets

2. Styling using classes in a toolbar menu for ul, a, and img elements
--> I've tried using paragraph styles dropdown for this,
but it only works halfway, and has a tendency
to break things
--> Want to be able to have basic inline/float options
for images, but prefer to do this with class name(s)
i.e. class="teaserimg floatright"
--> Need to style ul with class name
--> Have CSS-styled <a> tags by specifying class name;
use-case is customized link color/text/style/bg-img

3. Support external image inclusion via absolute src="" in Kupu/Plone

4. Block-outline features for content in the IFRAME, similar to "outline
block level elements" feature in Firefox web development toolbar; allow
authors to see the outline of the elements they are authoring without having
to always look at source. Should be enabled/disabled with button.

5. Misc fixes:
(a) Fix issue with moving images via drag/drop - changes URL of src
attribute?
--> Have this problem with Moz + Kupu 1.2b1
(b) style inline elements for character style

6. Asynchronous XMLHTTPRequest-based spell checking

Thanks,
Sean
