Yes, we are using TinyMCE for editor and it is really nice.

For pictures currently, while other needs to be ported/supported yet. 
But image will also be snapshoted from time to time (probably every 
hour) and every day it should be backed up somewhere. But that's about 
50M or so, so 2x50M=100M, that's not much? I can also provide a 
"disaster recovery" location for that content and we can rsync every day 
there.

Currently as pure HTML, but that needs to be yet improved. Currently 
only admin has edit rights for that.

> Is the interface translated ?

Yes, just I need to detect language better. In an hour or so ...
