Ok. options: a. we wait for Adobe to make this format opensource ;-) b. we let the end-user chose (no forcing). I know still in conflict with the mission but....
This example/prototype wiki editor is developed in a way that makes integration with MW sites easy. It can be used by ' simple' wikiusers and wiki-language experts so it will be used I think. When the editor component has enough functionality and is stable enough, it can be integrated in some kind of wikiclient / desktop application. And as you can guess a lot of RIA functionality will then be available. Then no forcing and relative independent from MW development.
I am floating on my dream and still see beautifull things in the near future......
Thanks for your reactions. Andre

This means we will probably not see this enabled on WMF sites. Flash is a proprietary format. Forcing users to install this is in conflict with Wikimedia's mission to spread open file formats and software. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Disrespecting_freedom_of_the_web
Yes, but (a) other MediaWiki sites welcome Flash (b) it's interesting as an example implementation of WYSIWYG, as we try to crack the problem.
Given (a), mediawiki-l is probably the list for it.
