Help FCKeditor Help TUAW

Okay, everyone. This is not your typical blog post where C.K. points to some cool bit of Mac news from his usual biased spot. No, this time it is even more biased.

FCKeditor, the text editor for the Internet, could just be the promised land for Safari WYSIWYG goodness in text entry fields, but they need a Mac for testing: "After some thoughts we have agreed that the best solution would be to buy an iBook G4 12. It is a complete testing system with all in one, including monitor, mouse, keyboard and WiFi ready so it is perfect for that job. Unfortunately Im not in a good financial position now, and the donation to the project felt down in the last period, so Im here to ask the community for contributions to achieve 'our' goals. Im living in Poland now and the iBook, at Apple.com.pl, costs $1300. So, we just need the remaining $500 to complete it!"

I'm tempted to donate $500 myself right now, but I have a very good sense that my wife would kill me. Why am I so eager to get this going? Well, besides how great it would be for the Mac web world in general, this particular tool is the goodness that allows for WYSIWYG support and full Firefox compatibility in Blogsmith, the software that TUAW is running on. If we could get it running in Safari, then the TUAW team could have a fully Safari-compliant TUAW blogging experience, and you would see more productivity from all of us TUAW bloggers (except for Jay. He's blogging from a Wintel box at work! HERESY!) . So, head on over there and donate a few dollars that you have to spare. In aggregate, we can make the Internet and this site better by helping to fund FCKeditor Safari-support.

UPDATE: Success! They raised the money.
