WYSIWYG (or WYSIWYM or WYSIWYM) status?
by Matthew Simoneau 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Hi all, First of all, I'm sending a big thank you to everyone who contributes code to MediaWiki. You all make this social revolution possible. Based on Jimmy Wales' Wikimania keynote and other sources, I know that much of the community recognizes WYSIWYG editing as an important feature for enabling greater participation. There's a comment, however, from Brion on the discussion page of the MediaWiki roadmap <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_roadmap> that it isn't in their immediate plans. A page on Meta <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG_editor> lists several experiments and implementation ideas, but is anyone seriously tackling this problem? Should we take up a collection to hire a developer to work on this? Or maybe to offer X PRIZE style bounty for a successful implementation? I'm in for $25! Sincerely, Matthew Simoneau http://www.matthewsim.com/

Page protection
by Alex Powell 13 Feb '07

Hi, I noticed the SVN tables.sql now has a permissions table. Dare I dream that per page permissioning is on the way? Is the ethos of the wikipedia changing, or has some money been thrown into the development? Is it likely to be in 1.10, or a few versions away? Best regards, Alex

An example which was reported was automated deletion summaries. I've reverted this in r19898.

Sorry for this. My editor somehow lost its encoding settings for the MediaWiki project.
