Implementation note: Wall posts are currently stored in BBCode, and
parsed immediately before being displayed. So we'll need an upgrade
script that parses and re-stores them as HTML. Or perhaps continue
(silently) parsing them for both BBCode and HTML, upon display?

It'd be nice to be able to eliminate the *very* old and no longer
updated BBCode parser library that we're using. On the other hand, we'll
kinda need to keep it for that upgrade script anyway. :-P

Title:
  Replace BBCode in the Wall block with TinyMCE

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  For some reason the dusty but omnipresent Wall block is the one place
  in Mahara where we still use BBCode. We really ought to swap it out
  there for TinyMCE, or keep it as plaintext but do a Twitter/Facebook
  style autodetection of links.

  But given that we use TinyMCE for comments, I think it would make more
  sense to have TinyMCE for the wall block as well.
