Version 7.6 is on Github under CC-non-Commercial: https://github.com/dybskiy/redactor-js

Even version 8.03 (august 20120)seems to be free (http://imperavi.com/webdownload/redactor/getold/), the new licenses got apparently introduced in 8.1.0, which adds a plugin system and some other stuff (http://imperavi.com/redactor/log/)

I don't mind giving them $99 but I'd like the latest source on Github so I can fork and send pull requests easily.

[edit - ok. Not necessarily in Github but at least in a publicly accessible DVCS repo]

If you're looking for a Rich Text Editor, this is the only one I will recommend. I wrote a proprietary RTE last year and continue to maintain it because nothing available both worked and produced clean markup. Redactor came out this spring and is the only generally available RTE that does this. If you insist on OSS, WYSIHTML5 is the best available. For those that care, Redactor uses the designMode technique, leans on…

> and keeps the markup clean via regexp cleanup wait what?

Would you care to elaborate on your objections? I'm guessing it might be along these lines: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-...

Is so - remember we aren't necessarily trying to parse HTML. You could probably fix most of the things that are likely to get screwed up by various browser quirks in ContentEditable.

What are the differences between designMode and contenteditable? I always assumed they were different names for essentially the same thing.

"unbelievably beautiful" - come on, it looks nice but it's just a wysiwyg editor - noone is going to moved to tears.

This apple initiated hyperbole should stop, it's pretty wanky and just devalues words.

Quiet understatement would be better; mention that it's well designed and easy to use instead.
