Amaya W3C WYSIWYG Editor

Amaya The W3C Editor

Amaya is a free and open source web authoring tool with browsing abilities, developed and maintained by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web.

Amaya is a tool used to create and update documents directly on the Web. Browsing features are seamlessly integrated with the editing and remote access features in a uniform environment. The main motivation for developing Amaya according with WWW Consortium is "to provide a framework that can integrate as many W3C technologies as possible". It is also used to demonstrate these technologies in action while taking advantage of their combination in a single, consistent environment.

Amaya includes a web browser and a FTP client, so it covers all those aspects used by a website developer in one place and under the same interface, just imagine how useful is to search on internet while your editing or creating your pages, copy and paste text directly from the browser without an external application, when your work is finished just upload it, knowing that the code is W3C validated
