Components

To better organize and to simplify the development, the CKeditor project has been broken in many components, which represent small and highly specialized pieces of it.
Theoretically each component has its own "life" and can live independently of others (or even completely replaced).
Our ticketing system has a field to explicitly specify the component involved in the ticket. Each component has one or more developers assigned to. Those developers are the responsible for maintaining that part of the code. All maintainers are invited to limit their activity in the code to their relative components, otherwise please contact the specific maintainer when working on their components. Components may be represented in the code by a single file, or a large group of files.

[TODO] : We are still defining this list. In Final Version, Specification detail of each component would be moved to ​http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Developers_Guide
