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.

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

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.
- d.
