Leaving aside the wikiquette and formailities, the mediawiki software itself makes it
tough for newcomers. Even one Post-Doc friend of mine could not figure out the simplest
wiki syntax! People are more comfortable with WYSWYG editors. I had been watching
wikipedia for last 3 years. MediaWiki has hardly shown any improvement in usability and
interface. It's time more developers put in more effort in improving ease of using
media wiki. Other free software around the same time frame have improved dramatically.
Thanks
