[Building Sakai] ck edit file browser

[Matthew Jones]

Not sure, never really thought about it.

I'd probably take a side-by-side on what KCFinder (which appears to be the
most up-to-date) does well

http://kcfinder.sunhater.com/demos/ckeditor

If I had a lot of time I'd probably try to modify/extend that plugin to
work with Sakai entity picking rather than modify our plugin. It looks like
it does have some nice features, but would probably need to modify the
backend (in textarea) as well as the plugin to take advantage of everything.
