I have been wondering this same thing. I would like to know if Jim, who
created the term "Wikiwyg" and runs it on
is
involved with this socialtext version. If he isn't I think it's a low blow
to steal his name. He even had a logo for it already. The work he has done
there is extremely incredible. If he is involved then congratulations but I
don't see the same code being used and his verison is much much more
impressive.

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.
