[Mediawiki-l] Mediawiki future: wikitext or wysiwyg

Wed May 24 03:15:28 UTC 2006

I would like to know what way of the MW development will be chosen:
to integrate some wysiwyg editor into MW and forget about wiki text,
not to integrate editors at all or to combine that approaches.

I've RTFM & STFW. All I've found:

-The proposed next-generation incarnation of MediaWiki:
 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_2.0
- The proposed wiki-like database for various types of content for it
 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata
 and

{WYSIWYG: Easy to do if you break wikitext editability, hard to do if you
want to maintain both. Not sure if they have tried to solve the hard
problem - if so, maybe something worth looking into. Otherwise not.}
