although I would need to do a lot of reading to get my PHP back up to
par. Of course, it may be too ambitious for a single summer project.
Hmm.. i
wouldn't be that keen on making a WYSIWYG editor a priority
for MediaWiki. I agree that having a more friendly user interface for
editing wiki articles would be great, but it has to be -really- given
good thought, i don't think it's simply a question of integrating
FCKeditor or TinyMCE in MediaWiki, we should first have a good concept
on how you should edit wiki articles in a visual way.
Aside from that, a Google SoC project to improve usability and the
user interface would be great and would really enhance the software.
Maybe simplifying the way skins work is step one in that process?
