Regarding licensing of FCK Editor - fckeditor

What is the difference between FCK Editor and CK Editor?
Is there any restriction on using FCK Editor v2.6.3 for commercial use?

Did you search on the web?
According to its web page FCK editor is obsolete and no more maintained.
PS. I never heard if FCK editor before reading your question, but I have the habits of searching a few minutes on the web before asking.

Adobe Premiere scripting

I want to automate a sequence of task on Adobe Premiere Pro CS6,
thats all repeating tasks, and while doing manually consumes lots of time, :)
that stars from: importing video file, image files, doc file-> making a sequence -> adding files on sequence with predefined height , width-> inserting scripts -> analyzing them -> adding marks on particular word on metadata-> and finally exporting it..
I want to make all these task automatically done with some scripts on adobe premier pro or anythign else...
appreciating
Premiere is scriptable, as are the other Adobe Creative Suite apps, using their Extendscript API. Extendscript uses javascript. There's an official Adobe IDE for it called Extendscript Toolkit, that has a script editor, debugger and a object model viewer.
There's one problem, for premiere the documentation is perplexingly scarce. It's a pity, because for other programs like After Effects there is a thriving community of developers doing amazing stuff with extendscript.
The Adobe Javascript guide is here and some class information specifically for Premiere can be found here.
If you are on the PC platform, try having a look at a free windows automation package such a AutoIT or AutoHotKey. I have been using AutoHotKey for several years now and this tool can be used to automate pretty much anything you can think of. It is a scriping language, there is a learning curve, but easy to use if you follow the many tuts and samples out there.
It doesn't seem to be officially supported, mentioned or used much (maybe because most user think programming is 'nerdy' stuff and don't touch it?) - anyways:

Unfortunately the documentation is scare and I don't know which version may support scripting (and which OS).

Are there any Designers for XForms?

I am searching for a designer or an IDE which can be used to create XForms by dragging and dropping elements.
I found visual XForms designer by IBM at http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/vxd .
But it is not that user friendly.
Thanks in advance.
There is Orbeon Form Builder. See also the FAQ. It's open source.
It's not strictly a general-purpose XForms editor, but it's a form editor that deals with XHTML+XForms+extensions. If you don't want to use Orbeon Forms to process the forms generated, you could transform the result e.g. with XSLT.
(Disclaimer: I work on Orbeon Forms.)
I am also trying to find a good XForm designer. One that I found useful is Vellum - It is an XForms form designer written purely in Javascript and it's Open source.
Vellum targets modern browsers. IE8 and earlier are not supported. It is used in production by Commcare.
Oryx used to offer one: http://bpt.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/Oryx/XForms. The current code is unmaintained, but there is a github fork.

Monodevelop's text editor

There are several articles that instruct how to use avalonedit of sharpdevelop (avalonedit is the editor of sharpdevelop). Is there any article out there that explains how to use monodevelop's text editor? Also, what's the name of that editor; does it have a name? Thanks.
A while ago the previous text editor was replaced by Mono.TextEditor. There's not much documentation on it, or articles about it, but you could look at how it is integrated into MonoDevelop.
Monodevelop was originally a port of Sharpdevelop. You can find a lot of tips on monodevelop here.

Packages/solutions to add online document editing to an on-premise web application

I'm doing research to find 3rd party packages/solutions/widgets/back-ends to allow users of a website to upload and edit office documents online in their browser, akin to Google Docs. I haven't had much luck so wanted to see if anyone has any advice or pointers.
Integrating Google Docs is, sadly, not an option, as the documents have to remain stored on our servers only.
ckEditor (and similar) are good rich text content editors, but don't support page formatting and many other features of office documents.
I've found many libraries for converting MS Office, PDF, PS, etc. documents into a common format, but no editor widgets or front-ends that support editing that common format.
Advice on 3rd party solutions or other libraries/widgets I've missed would be really appreciated, whether OSS or proprietary.
You're asking about office productivity suites? I've personally used Zoho and thought it was okay. I'm not sure which of these offer document -> online editing -> save offline document, though.
Wikipedia has lists of these online productivity suites :
Online word processors
Online Office Suites
If you're a Volume Licensed customer of MSFT, you can deploy Office Web Apps (2010) on-premise with SharePoint 2010. TechNet subscribers can also get it - this is what I did - for testing. Everything is x64 (Web Apps, SharePoint, etc.)

Alternative to Dreamweaver?

I'm tired of Dreamweaver overwriting wrong files on the server,
so I'm looking for an alternative.
I want color-coding and possibility to open/save and edit files direct from the server, so I don't need to save files on my desktop first.
I'm using Windows.
Every web developer should be hand-writing their mark-up - all forms of automated abstraction inhibit your understanding and awareness of the code and create maintenance problems for the future. I'm quite a zealot about this, you may be able to tell.
On that basis, I can heartily recommend Editplus: has code colouring, FTP and a huge amount of feature-sugar from line duplication to macros.
Notepad++ extended with some plugins is a really handy replacement. Though I can't call it IDE, it does virtually everything a developer need. In my case (a lot of repetitive code) Texter (a small app working in background) makes notepadd++ even more handy. So, my suggestion is: Notepad++ and Texter.
I switched to notepad++ when I had the same kind of problems with DreamWeaver. I tried some other programs too, but they were too complicated for my needs.
If all you need is color-coding and ftp-support, notepad++ is a good choice.
Visual Web Developer Express, which is the lightweight version of Visual Studio.

If you're using a Mac you should take a look at Coda
Well personally I use Programmer's Notepad but it doesn't support the facility to upload files to the server. You could get Notepad++ and this FTP plugin. I haven't tried Notepad++ but I'm sure that it isn't WYSIWYG.
Perhaps KompoZer? It has all the features you've asked for, and there's a Windows version (as well as Mac and Linux).
Dreamweaver... Not my cup of tea, because it lacks good support for modern web programming with Javascript or PHP.
For primary design, I use WeBuilder from Blumentals. Its also a good and not expensive PHP and Javascript IDE with debugging support and also has good CSS support with a built-in CSS editor.
I'm not a big fan of text editors like Notepad++ as an IDE replacement, because you often need a lot of additional plug-ins to have similar features like a IDE. But for some files or quick editing nothing can beat such editors (I like Notepad++ the most on Windows).
So for Windows I would prefer WeBuilder for all things (design & programming).
You use only Windows? For Linux there are other alternatives too ;)
When I searched an alternative for the Dreamweaver for PHP, I found some IDEs and one among them is Netbeans. Soon it became my favorite for my object oriented coding.
Here is the download page.
This has support for Zend and Symphony frameworks.
They also support File uploading.
When developping in PHP, I generally use Eclipse PDT.
If you are more oriented towards HTML/CSS/Javascript, you might be interested by Aptana, which is based on Eclipse too... Which means it can use lots of plugins, including some to work directly on a server, I suppose (see TM/RSE, for instance).
Note than Aptana can also be installed into an existing Eclipse installation, as a plugin.
Oh, also, I almost forgot : Eclipse is free, and there are both a free and a commercial version of Aptana.
(One bad thing about Eclipse being it requires a quite powerful computer -- at least 2 cores and 2 GB of RAM, if you want to use any other application at the same time...)
E Text Editor, a Textmate clone for Windows, claims to have FTP Support. But i haven't used this feature before.
I want color-coding and possibility to open/save and edit files direct from the server, so I don't need to save files on my desktop first.
The Zeus editor can highlight and fold HTML files, it integrates with HTML Tidy and can seamless edit files from the server via ftp/sftp.
It also has support for a host of other languages (i.e C/C++, C#, Java, Javascript, PHP, etc etc)
