Probably it would make sense to upgrade to 1.6 for various other reasons: more macros, fast search, corrected bugs, newer format which would make later upgrades easier.
But WISIWIG editing would not be one of them. As in other Wikis, there are formatting issues when going back-and-forth between editors: the original text layout would loose the original spacing. In addition, there may be Wiki formatting features not available in GUI mode, and could be lost. Wiki text itself is intended for human writing and reading, being easy enough. --- On Fri, 5/23/08, Sherlock, Ric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have just seen that it is possible to use WYSIWYG tools to > edit wiki pages in versions of MoinMoin more recent than the > Jwiki's current 1.3.5. > > I suspect that the availability of such tools would reduce > the initial knowledge barrier that may be discouraging > community members from contributing to the wiki. > > You can try out WYSIWIG editing of wiki pages here: > <http://moinmo.in/WikiSandBox> > > Users can choose whether to use the WYSIWIG tools or not, > so those who prefer to continue to use the traditional wiki > syntax can do so. > > Would it require much effort to update the Jwiki from > version 1.3.5 to 1.6?
