Please ensure online editor work with non-Microsoft software

A request really, I do not use Microsoft software and so cannot use the online editor. Can you please ensure the next relelases work for GNU/Linux users.

Is there a chance to get one or two professional licences in exchange for providing eZ with a OE that works with IE 5.5 (I think, 6, for sure) and Mozilla 1.3+?

I know.

But if I get paid for doing so, why not (and essentially, a pro licence is free for eZ anyway, unless they expect me to buy one which isn't going to happen anytime soon). I already have a quite nicely working prototype. Only the fact that I know that eZ relies on OE sales for income stopped me from contributing one so far.

@Bård:
Why develop a standalone DE?
I think there is a better way with Openoffice:

Openoffice is free, platform independent, with spell check and thesaurus in many languages. Apichanges are less than MS IE.

Images can easily included and stripped and then transformed by imagemagick.
SVG included. Webdav is possible.

Check in /-out via ezwebdav.
Generate e.g. Oowriter or .doc when downloading (on demand).
And we can change documents via Browser.

Web view takes only standard ez xmltags.
e.g. One ooo document is in ez:
(Structure in ez)
Is ooo content.xlm
Folder = heading 1 (Starting point of one ooo document)
Pages = heading 2
Sub pages = heading 3 ...;
Images = Image folder is ooo folder pictures

automatically created by ez:
ooo manifest.xml
ooo meta.xml ...

To-do: special too template with fits better to ez.
.
Advanced features like image thumb preview und file-browser can be added via SDK or use intern function:
http://api.openoffice.org/SDK/index.html

Additional: Openoffice on Server can automatically open and save MSOffice and a lot of other formats. There are a lot snippets.

Additional: open pdf via http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdftohtml/ with xml option.
Save PDF via ez or ghostscript etc.

Additional: Photoshop via imagemagick. To-do: Handle .psd with more than 1 layer.

To-do:
new data type oooxml
webdav with user rights
Ooo extension ??

Open and close zip is no problem with http://www.phpconcept.net/phpzip/ soon in pear: http://pear.php.net/package/Archive_Zip

White papers:

Where to earn money for ez?
It is an additional feature like Oracle database.
Why ezsystems?
Ez should earn the money.

Then this is real:
[...]is determined to make sure that eZ publish becomes the best open source content management solution in the world. [...]
