Hi,
I want to point out two current discussions that might be relevant to you.
First, on this pagehttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Suggestions_for_extensions_to_be_integratedyou can suggest extensions to be integrated in releases, It will make upgrades much easier if the right bundle of extensions are packaged with with them. Participate in the process to help that happen.
Also, from my communication with third-party MediaWiki so far I have seen that a WYSIWYG editor is on top of your wish list. As you might know, VisualEditor http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor:Welcome http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor:Welcomeis currently being developed and tested. You can test it herehttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor:Test. I would encourage you to actively participate in the process with feedbackhttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Feedback http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Feedback, ideas, and volunteer help.
Thank you.
Mariya
