There is work actively being done on wysiwyg (mainly on the wikitech-l mailing list) - and apparently a problem is the "grammar" involved. I've just sent a mail there asking about what that fckeditor doesn't do yet, how much more needs to be done, and how much of a funding bid would need to be put together to see it to completion. I'll report back as and when I get any responses.

is this extension being considered?

if i'm going to try selling WV or WE to my colleagues, i think i'd need WYSIWIG editing

sounds like a MW WYSIWIG editor is still a pretty long way off: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WYSIWYG_editor

i am surprised the WM foundation doesn't seem to be pursuing this more aggressively - it seems to me the single code innovation which could have the greatest impact in terms of encouraging grass-roots engagement with the various wikis
