Hello,
I'm writing a WYSIWYM editor for MediaWiki, it is a native client application for Windows.
I'm looking for Wikipedia contributors who are interested in testing this new application. It is still very incomplete, but it is ready for basic edition.
Main features:
* History friendly: minimize differences when saving pages. This is a key feature to allow editing parts of existing pages without breaking the format of the other parts.
* Stand alone templates such as Infoboxes are edited as tables, making it easy to edit parameters in a WYSIWYG fashion and taking advantage of the global Undo. Templates in paragraphs are rendered as raw wikitext.
* Degrades gracefully: unhandled elements such as <gallery>, <source> or tables with complex CSS are locally rendered as raw wikitext.
* Outlining for easier navigation in big pages.

Hi Marc,
have a look at my toy: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WYSIFTW
Seems to do most of what yours does, but not limited to Windows.
Cheers, Magnus

I couldn't make it work with IE8, Firefox 3.6.9 and Seamonkey 2.0.2 on Windows :-(
With Firefox and Seamonkey it is stuck with the dialog "Parsing, standby...". If I close it, I get the editable text, and it seem to be complete, but I can't move the cursor or edit anything.
Cheers, Marc

Huh - a bug crept in, but it kept working in Chrome, my test browser.
Works now in Chrome, Firefox 4 (beta 8), Safari 5.0.3, all on Mac. Should work in every browser (so, probably not IE).
Cheers, Magnus
I have added the script and refreshed firefox but I see no way of making it work. Is it supposed to start working once in edit mode? Does it work if Twinkle, another JavaScript app?
