[WikiEN-l] More on Tables

[WJhonson at aol.com]

So being at-heart a consummate traitor, I've been toying around at Knol,  and 
also at Google Sites and at Pbwiki.  I was just updating a page tonight  on 
my Knol user-page when I realized that Knol has a rather nice  "table 
creator/editor".  I've used it a few times, but it was always  sort-of "blah whatever" 
until I had to tonight actually move  
cell-contents-with-their-associated-LINKS around in a table.
 
It was... quite simple, with no hidden problems.  Can we not get that  in the 
next MediaWiki upgrade go-round ?  It would so simplify the  beautification 
of tabular data and ease the transition for editors who can't  quite get their 
minds wrapped around our current bizarre and  unique table-coding.  The number 
of editors we have who understand how  to create and maintain in-wiki tables 
is quite minute, and this WYSIWIG editor  just makes it all very transparent 
and easy.
