In case people haven't seen the various bits of

(Foo|Bar)Camp last weekend: Wikiwyg is a demonstration of an in-
browser WYSIWYG wiki editor. It's Mozilla/Firefox only, but rather
elegant nonetheless.

Not that I wish to kick off a holy war, but with current wikis,
including MediaWiki, there's clearly a learning curve for 'general
public' users. Often, they're new not just to the wiki concept, but
also to the very idea of markup. My own recent wiki project foundered
on that hurdle; Wikiwyg is the sort of system that might make wikis
dramatically more straightforward to casual users.
Besides, it's kinda fun to play with.
Lots of discussion around the blogosphere:

Odd. I thought Wikiwyg was <http://81.5.150.113/wysi/>. I think it's
also much cooler. I'm working on a Client-side reader/editor written
in XUL/JS based on it. See my blog entry

I think you may have kicked off a holy war of a different kind.
