UPDATE

What goes into this

• Downloading the TinyMCE JavaScript file/distro onto the PM server
• Either allow users to add the initialization script tags to their freenodelet, or add it as an option in user settings, etc.
• Configuration is merely editing the JSON when you initialize the script.

• Come to a consensus on a default view of it. I vote "Advanced", as it allows users to turn off the WYSIWYG editor and edit the HTML if needed.
• The BIGGEST issue I've had is getting it to show the text you need to type *above* in order to not be writing your node in your signature.

This is going to be short and sweet, I'm running late to class :-P

I've attempted to add TinyMCE integration in a sane manner to PM so that users can Just Type in a wysiwyg manner. Turns out the "simple" variation of TinyMCE doesn't allow you to disable it. It also by default seems to start you typing in the middle of your signature.

jdporter suggested I post here to get some wider exposure. Thoughts on a solution? The "Advanced" mode allows you to turn it off, and I figure we could hack it a bit to save a cookie to remember this setting.
