The following bug is not about VPL but about supporting WYSIWYG mode. Maybe you want to vote for it:

Voting for it isn't going to make much difference here. This is an old request that is now on it's third generation of code. What's going to make this work well is Apple's Webcore enhancements which have been merged into KHTML for KDE 4. That said, I don't know how much will be able to be done in the browser, but if I'm going to edit I'd like to have a tool with some power like Quanta to offer me useful features. Also there are requests for XML editing, which KHTML can't do natively. It should be possible with the next KDOM. With VPL our goal was XSLT on the fly. Again, this will require developers working on it.

So the same issues apply. If we want the best possible options they will be there... IF our VPL developers return. Otherwise I have to recruit developers or sponsor a new developer. Currently nobody seems willing to sponsor this work. This would require about 2 dozen people coughing up $20 a month most likely, or a few dozen more people... or a volunteer with a hell of a lot of free time and very good skills. Seriously, on a volunteer basis this needs 2-3 people at least or there will be burnout before release.

FYI, this is incorrect.

I've read the last comment that nothing will happen before KDE 4. I was just suggesting that people should express their interest and support for this feature (Personally I think this is one of the more important ones for Konqi).

Nothing more, nothing less.
