I've tried to retrieve the wmd-editor source tarball lately, but the site seems offline.

From what I've read on the Internet, wmd-editor is not (yet?) free software by itself, and its author has gone MIA.
But it looks like somebody recently took the step to rewrite a wmd-clone under a saner license, see [[pagedown|http://code.google.com/p/pagedown/source/browse/]].

Given all the above, what about upgrading this plugin to use pagedown instead of wmd? It seem a clear win to me... --(unsigned)

Other conversations:

>> I've got pagedown working on my personal site (simon.kisikew.org) but I'm not sure how
>> I can inject the relevant <div>'s in the right place. They need to go **above**
>> the editing <textarea> . (Too bad about the licensing, it's rather nice.)
>> I had to do one minor change to it to have it inject itself into the page properly,
