I'm sure that if you keep debating the issue, some people who
dislike WYSIWYG will tell you so. But that is not the reason we
don't have WYSIWYG in MediaWiki.
No but I'm suggesting it might be an obstacle to having development
of it prioritised.
I did post this thread to the wrong email list and I apologise for
that, although many people here seem keen to discuss the matter. I'm
getting a more appropriate response on the other list.
By the way, I'm not necessarily talking about "WYSIWYG in MediaWiki"
either. It's more about WYSIWYG for Wikimedia projects. If
integrating an editor into the current environment is so difficult
maybe there needs to be a new approach, such as developing new
software/syntax with some type of WYSIWYG editor built in from the
start.
