Hi everybody,
I need a bit of advice. I'm going to give a demo about mediawiki to a few people used to deal with WYSIWYG type of editors. They are all smart enough to pick up wikitext no problem, but I'd like to be able to mention a few reasons about why they will have to deal with wikitext directly and not its formatted representation.
A few people who have gone through the same transition have told me that there is a bit of an initial code-phobia obstacle to overcome and I'd like to motivate the newcomers to go through that first obstacle to enjoy what's on the other side.
Any suggestion?
Thank you!
Manu
