New beta: richtext editor improvements

We've made available beta 1 of version 6.2 for both ProjectForum and CourseForum.

As you'll see from the beta page, this focuses almost entirely on the richtext a.k.a. WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that was introduced in version 6.0. As you may know, the editor is based on an open source HTML editing framework called TinyMCE. Not too long ago, TinyMCE went through a major overhaul, which greatly improved it. Unfortunately, it also required a major change in how we used TinyMCE within ProjectForum.

But as a result of that plus many additional changes we made, the richtext editor you'll find in 6.2 should eliminate many of the bumps that people have found in the current versions.

Please download and give the new beta a try, and let us know how the new editor works for you. We're especially interested in feedback from people using different web browsers, and those who've run into troubles with the previous editor.
