Hi all,
First of all, I'm sending a big thank you to everyone who contributes
code to MediaWiki. You all make this social revolution possible.
Based on Jimmy Wales' Wikimania keynote and other sources, I know that
much of the community recognizes WYSIWYG editing as an important feature
for enabling greater participation. There's a comment, however, from
Brion on the discussion page of the MediaWiki roadmap
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_roadmap> that it isn't in their
immediate plans.
A page on Meta <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG_editor> lists
several experiments and implementation ideas, but is anyone seriously
tackling this problem? Should we take up a collection to hire a
developer to work on this? Or maybe to offer X PRIZE style bounty for a
successful implementation? I'm in for $25!
well, we recently started to integrate Yulup (
http://www.yulup.org/) resp.
the Neutron protocol (
http://neutron.wyona.org/) which I think would
make editing
really simple and also allow to connect many other editors without much
effort, but
because of our unfamiliarity of the MediaWiki code our efforts stalled.
I would be very happy to restart, but would need some help from someone
familiar with the MediaWiki code (instead of money ;-) I think for
someone experienced it might take 1-2 days (also see
http://neutron.wyona.org/#getting_started).
Cheers
Michael
Sincerely,
