The conceptual idea behind it is good. What joomla lacks is an "offline" text editing and I hoped this program could help. (actually consist of two part: 1 component and on browser plugin) However functionality is very limited, text editing is not convenient. Image via path entry...
ergo: not usable and waste of time - maybe for some special purpose - sorry guys!

Claims to be GNU GPL, but only the Plug-in is. The actual editor is closed-source, but free.

Installation is not hard, but the product is split into two parts. You have to dig up the readme file to find out where to get the editor. Since a third of the reviewers did not even succeed in doing that, you can't say this is a good approach.

Now to the editor. Unfortunately, the problems dominate:
* Strips out valid header and paragraph tags from existing content.
* Doesn't have a clue about how to render multi-column layout.
* For whatever reason, doesn't access your template, so styles presented don't match styles in your style sheet.
* Insists on littering your HTML with an obnoxious 'Generated by' comment.
* Can't even specify common tags, like h1, p, etc.

One plus:
* The Screen Reader Preview is a nice option

Conclusion:
If this commercial company is hoping to generate sales for their 'Pro' product with this free offering, they will be disappointed. It is too few features, and screws with your markup too much, to compete with the better completely free offerings here.

I'was looking for a good and simple Editor. Tried JCE but I've noticed that the output isn't well formed(XHTML). XStandard is good but it leaves some lines about it. It's not what could be a free extension for Joomla. I tried Joomla FCK too but it had the same problem. I also tried the other Free Editors but I've not find what I was looking for.

I think I'll use JCE where it was necessary hand making the correct xHtml.

I had no problems installing, plugin for firefox installed easily. A little lacking in features for the lite version but I have been going over my website and finding all the pages with incorrect xhtml and correcting them so I think its great. Ill look at the full featured version but otherwise it works a treat.

Once I installed the mambot (thinking it was the editor), I quickly found that this is merely a wrapper for the XStandard editor. Also, if your a Mac user, I can find no way to download the lite version nor instructions to do so. Next.

Joomla 1.0.8 on a IIS. Installed OK. FireFox 1.5 needed 2 plugins one for the editor, and something from MS msxml..something. Is not the usual WYSIWYG editor, so I have to get use to this new editor. I miss the Image features.

hmm, installs fine, but there's a red cross where the editor window should appear (Joomla 1.0.8 install).

You have to manually install the browser plugin on the computer you use for editing before you can use this editor. That may be a disadvantage for some, but it gives you a very reliable editor that outputs 100% clean XHTML.

The automated installation failed in Firefox. After installing the free light version manually I had only a very few options. Almost no features in the free version available.

It gives an emty editorwindow. Installed on Joomla 1.08, with no other editors published.
