And I would remind you - I've been an ardent advocate of the absolute
necessity for a Visual Editor for Wikipedia for the past few years. My

serious problems on many levels the project of its implementation has
manifested. It's possible the present project is recoverable into
something usable, but it's really not going to just happen.
