I was made aware of work done on an "inline editor" -- see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:InlineEditor and code at http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/InlineEditor/ .
This work was done by a team coordinated by GRNET (Greek Research Network), which developed a WYSIWYG editor that produces MediaWiki syntax.
I presume that the Visual Editor team (Wikimedia Foundation and Wikia) already know about this work as a predecessor to their own, but just wanted to share it in case it's useful to anyone else while they wait for the Visual Editor.
Yes, we know Jan Paul and his work well, he's brilliant. I worked with him a bit when he was planning that project out (it was actually a school project) and have seen him present on it a few times. It's a great exploration of in-place editing and proved some ideas that we had early on.
