[p2pu-dev] Unpredictable font, color and line distance in copy/paste

[Brian Brennan]

The editor is CKeditor. It is not good.

tinyMCE is decent. Personally, I think just throwing a textbox on there and
doing live markdown would be a great option.

Something like this: http://dillinger.io/

People learn wiki markup to write wikis, I don't think it's unacceptable to
require learning markdown.
