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

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

This causes unexpected breakage such as expansion of braces in parameter
text. An example which was reported was automated deletion summaries.
I've reverted this in r19898.
Can we get a further explanation of what problem the change was intended
to address?
