Hi,
as I'm no longer a team member as it looks like according to the ECT 
message by Michael Stucki I don't know whether my comment is 
appreciated.. Anyway.

It would be a lot better to have it at a central place.

Firstly don't use Ajax all the time, it makes the BE inaccessible for 
many users. Secondly what about something like a help bar I proposed 
some time ago? A central place where you see all help texts when working 
with the several forms. Anyway: I woulnd't just use a simple icon or 
headline where you have to hover because who knows that you actually 
have to hover? A help isn't helpfull if you have to find it. It should 
find you imho.

I know many systems where the nice and featurerich RTE does not load 
correctly and isn't displayed right. If you change the setting on the 
page it's not changed on all pages and if you login at a computer where 
it works you don't have to switch it back.

Another point is that RTE doesn't display every code right and sometimes 
you have to deactivate it in order not to screw things up.

Yes. However they can be changed to something like toolbuttons in a 
menubar. If you start moving many things to the top without any reason 
this can be something to fill into the newly generated Ajax bar..

Don't take me wrong but without JavaScript activated (which is so by 
default in many browsers) TYPO3 is really useless.
