Description fpu 2010-01-07 20:42:07 UTC 
Tons of new Linux users are longing for a true WYSIWYG alternative for the
popular html editor MS Frontpage.

Existing Linux web editors, such as KompoZer (which is really the only true
WYSIWYG web editor for Linux), don't have the user-friendliness and feature-rich
options as Frontpage had. The lack of a true Frontpage replacement is one of the
main reasons I personally keep a Windows dual boot with my Linux OS.

I highly recommend you create a full-featured html editor for OOo suite to be a
true Linux alternative to MS Frontpage which was favored by amateur web
builders, the largest market for web editors.

If you do and make it produce decent code (unlike Frontpage did apparently), OOo
will be the hottest app in Linux world and beyond!

I forgot to add, a lot of former MS Frontpage users, including myself, find
OOo's existing WYSIWYG html editor "Writer/Web" is the closet thing to
Frontpage, but understand Writer/Web isn't meant to be a true web builder, hence
our sadness.  =(
