I like the TWiki system to create table ( we could import it here to wikipedit - wikipedia edition format - ).
One can use HTML to create tables, but use | it´s easy to create simple tables.
One would create a minimum common wiki format , for nearly all the wikis, including wikipedia and Twiki.
Now, I know why ones resist using anchors. Because # is used in wikipedit for numbered list ( in Twiki is for anchors and very usefull).
The problem with Indymedia is that this site is not GNU Free Documentation License (it´s open content). In this case, they would change it.
We would include indymedia like news source for http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_events

I think we should go further still and shoot for the ultimate goal of creating "Wikimedia." That's media with an "m." It would use Wiki-style rules to enable public participation in the creation and editing of all kinds of media: encyclopedias and other reference works, current news, books, fiction, music, video etc. Like current broadcast media, it would have differentiated "channels" and "programs," each with self-selecting audiences. Unlike current media, however, the audience would also be actively involved in creating its own programming, instead of merely passively watching it.
