Update: one of the first essential items is to update comprehensive test results on our Wiki so our release notes can just refer to that wiki item, but SF has just deployed a new markdown editor that completely sucks/is unusable for complex wiki pages like ours. That "completely sucks/unusable" phrase is not hyperbole. For example, the cursor position is misidentified so if you try to insert a line of text at what appears to be the cursor position it actually appears 5 lines higher in the editing GUI for the tables part of the page I was attempting to edit. (This occurs for both konqueror and iceweasel (the Debian form of firefox.) Elsewhere in that page the cursor is correctly identified. So nothing is predictable. Similarly, any attempt to delete stuff ends up deleting the wrong stuff. And the usual normal cut and paste with the mouse no longer works. I have been fighting with these issues for several hours today and have got precisely nowhere. Anyhow, I am hoping for a quick response from SF staff concerning how they can make it possible to update complex wiki pages like ours again (e.g., by giving us the option to use the old editor that actually works), but if I don't get that quick response, I guess as a temporary measure, I could put all the markdown format for tables filled with recent comprehensive test reports from Arjen, Greg, and myself directly into our release notes and copy those markdown data to our wiki later when it is finally possible to do so.
