[Mediawiki-l] Apple's Wiki Server brings WYSIWYG to wiki

[Christopher Jorgensen]

I missed the first posts, but the subject line intrigues me. I am  
always in search of the best solution to an issue. I often find Apple  
is the leader in this. Sometimes not. Their blogging solutions  
suck. .Mac or server blog. But are they doing a wiki?

And I would bitch about wiki mark-up if: a. it weren't so easy, and,  
b. if there weren't an army of anal retentive individuals following  
behind "fixing" my posts.

I don't think I've made one wiki post without coming back later to  
see it changed with the reason being "added image in proper format,"  
or somesuch.

I see this as a strength. I can add content without having to  
question, "Is it EXACTLY correct?" Otherwise I wouldn't participate.

Expecting people to "get it right" or to learn a "WYSIWYG" editor is  
silly. Throw it up there! Let the type A personalities make it  
"right." This way those of us with something to contribute can, and  
those wanting to make sure the color is within the lines can. Win win!

I remember having this same argument way back when HTML was  
introduced. There was the "content needs to be free of style" people,  
and the "if the presentation can't be controlled I have nothing to  
say" people.

The more things change....

Did someone say Apple wiki?
