[Wikipedia-l] Quality vs Quantity

[Berto 'd Sera]

Hoi,

It would be better than nothing, yes. Just see how many interesting articles
with formulas we have thanks to "math" (or how it is called) and how little
elementary data tables we publish even on en.wiki. 

Pls pls pls make sure the input interface does clearly look like a table and
not like a gizmo for geeks. Otherwise it will be filed under "the hell knows
what it is" by most users and you will have wasted your time in making it.

A table generator would be good - not full WYSIWYG, just somewhere to
input number of rows and columns and then you get a textbox for each
cell and type the appropriate code in them, and then it gives you the
full wikisyntax for the table.
