> Wikiwyg is a joint venture between Socialtext and Wikia to bring  
> WYSIWYG to MediaWiki..  Release date uncertain, but both wikia and  
> Socialtext are devoting full time development resources towards  
> it.  My anticipation is that this is a big part of wiki editing and  
> free culture.  My friend who when to Harvard to study Chinese  
> history spent the last 16 years looking at the 8th century.  Read  
> about Wikipedia and was excited to contribute.  Looked up articles  
> on what she knew (read like an elderly chinese man in san francisco  
> who loved the old poets).  She never edited.  She clicked on edit  
> and saw some scary markup.  Some think this was a good thing, a  
> barrier to entry, but it keeps out some smart people, and it  
> doesn't keep out idiots (they are highly motivated).  Wikiwyg, in  
> some shape or form is the future of the internet.
