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.
