Kupu

Kupu was a 'document-centric' open source client-side editor for Mozilla, Netscape and Internet Explorer. Inspired by Maik Jablonski's Epoz editor, it was written by Paul Everitt, Guido Wesdorp and Philipp von Weitershausen (and several other contributors, for a complete list refer to the CREDITS.txt file) to improve the JavaScript code and architecture, pluggability, standards support, support for other webservers than Zope (which was the original target platform for Epoz), configurability and a lot of other issues.

Kupu was replaced by TinyMCE as the default WYSIWYG editor for Plone CMS in version 4.

Kupu is mostly maintained by Duncan Booth. It is made available under a BSD-style license.

Kupu's features

Kupu's emphasis is on flexibility rather than ease of integration, providing a somewhat difficult default setup, but with an easy-to-extend API. It can, however, be integrated into any CMS. Currently there is integration code for Zope 2, Plone and Apache Lenya. Kupu can be customized and extended in several ways. For simple modifications, much of the configuration can be set as attributes on the editor iframe, while buttons, tools and layout can be changed via the CSS. For larger customization there's a JavaScript plugin API, and also the core has a clean and solid architecture to allow full extensibility. Kupu uses CSS in favor of HTML for layout and presentation. It supports asynchronous saving to the server and sets event handlers from code instead of from the HTML (excepting the toolbar), which makes the code a lot cleaner. DOM functionality is used to build up HTML. On those fronts and others, it tries to use the most modern standardized techniques available on all supported browsers to ensure a good user-experience and clean code.

KUPU

KUPU, UHF digital channel 15, is a religious independent television station serving Honolulu, Hawaii, United States, that is licensed to Waimanalo, Hawaii. The station is owned by Hawaii Catholic TV. KUPU's studios are located on Waimanu Street in downtown Honolulu, and its transmitter is located near Waimanalo Beach. As of October 2013, KUPU was added to Oceanic Time Warner Cable's digital line up, airing on channel 56 within the City & County of Honolulu, but is not currently available outside of the Honolulu area on cable and does not operate any satellite stations.

History

The Federal Communications Commission issued a construction permit to Waimanalo Television Partners on October 17, 2000, to build a full-service television station on UHF channel 56. The new station was given the call letters KMGT. The station began operating on October 1, 2003, under a Program Test Authority and was officially licensed on June 18, 2004. In September 2006, Oceania Christian Church bought the station from Waimanalo Television Partners and the following month, changed the station's call letters from KMGT to KUPU, derived from the Hawaiian word for "to sprout".
