Yes, it's Gecko only. I've not looked at other solutions

One thing I was thinking of supporting was multiple input formats 
(administrator controlled of course). This way, 'trusted' users could 
work with HTML, whilst others could choose between Textile, Some sort of 
BBCode-alike or plain text. Rich editing is not at the top of the list 
of my priorities.

Another idea I was thinking about - I've seen this for other CMSs - was 
a 'real' GUI rather than a web-based one. Possibly an XUL application in 
Mozilla.

Good idea.
