Hi all -

There’s a new WYSIWYG editor out ([http://elrte.org/](http://elrte.org/)) that has a file  
manager component. There are backends for PHP and Python at the moment.

Wondering if anyone has begun work on a Rails backend? I don’t want to  
start just to find it’s been done already…

There is one person who is interested in writing RoR backend for  
elFinder [http://elrte.org/redmine/boards/1/topics/1054](http://elrte.org/redmine/boards/1/topics/1054) (page is in  
Russian, google translate can handle it).

I’m one of the developers of elFinder, you can ask any questions and I  
will be glad to help implement elFinder on RoR.

Btw web2py team already helped a lot to implement python connector.
