Hello,

I'm writing a WYSIWYM editor for MediaWiki, it is a native client
application for Windows.

I'm looking for Wikipedia contributors who are interested in testing
this new application. It is still very incomplete, but it is ready for basic
edition.

Main features:

* History friendly: minimize differences when saving pages.
This is a key feature to allow editing parts of existing pages without
breaking the format of the other parts.

* Stand alone templates such as Infoboxes are edited as tables, making
it easy to edit parameters in a WYSIWYG fashion and taking advantage of
the global Undo. Templates in paragraphs are rendered as raw wikitext.

* Degrades gracefully: unhandled elements such as <gallery>, <source> or
tables with complex CSS are locally rendered as raw wikitext.

* Outlining for easier navigation in big pages.
