The submission round for the CKEditor 4 Skin Contest is over and we have our finalists!
But first, we would like to thank everybody for their wonderful skin designs! We had some very nice entries all around. We appreciate all the hard work and devotion our community put into their creations. Our community can expect a strong set of skins to choose from for CKEditor 4.
Unfortunately we recently experienced a massive server crash. This caused a part of our sites to be down for some time. Our setup was prepared to deal with such eventualities but in a stroke of bad luck our backup systems also crashed in the process.
Our team and hosting provider have been working tirelessly to bring everything back to the way it was. Unfortunately the whole task was painstakingly long.

We are happy to announce the release of the much-awaited CKEditor 4 Beta. The team has been hard at work developing CKEditor 4 and now you are welcome to try it out before the official release!
CKEditor 4 represents one of the biggest advancements for us in terms of WYSIWYG functionality. It brings many new improvements to an already large variety of HTML editing tools designed to help you and your users easily create content-rich websites.

In addition to new functionalities, CKEditor 4 will also introduce a big step forward in terms of community content. The new editor will be customizable like never before. To celebrate this spirit of change we are organizing a Skin Contest to determine CKEditor 4’s default skin. The winner will receive $1,000, as well as the fame and glory of being seen by millions of users around the world!
The Skin Contest has already begun. It will give our community a chance to shape the look and feel of the new CKEditor 4. The prize? One lucky winner will receive $1,000 USD in prize money and global recognition. Submissions will close in a month so get moving!
We are proud to announce our involvement in GitHub. As of CKEditor 4’s release we will be using this popular service to simplify software development and have closer ties with our community. The site’s social networking features also make it the ideal place for CKEditor to fork into different developmental directions.
