Selecting good editor for content - WYMeditor, BUeditor, TinyMCE

I've been always having troubles with wysiwyg editors usage, since MS Word on my first computer.

Disabling module updates

Okay, every honest Drupal developer knows, that hacking core is a bad thing. Hacking contributed module is not the best thing in the world, too -- for obvious reasons: modules get updates , and updating module is very easy, unless you've applied some hacks to it. But, sometimes, we need to apply some changes to some contrib module. If it is a big customer site, we can't just say "Hey guys, your team can update this module and this module using drush, but don't touch this module, please!". That'
