Hi Je77, > 1. We need it to work out of the box for 99% of our users.
I didn't mean this to be a tool for 99% of your users - just to be a tool for people already working in Squeak. Since everything in ComSwiki is already in Squeak my thought was that it should be utterly trivial just to reuse it. > 2. Time.

There should be no "edit mode". That's exactly what I _don't_ want. > 3. Text is actually quite nice in getting people to > collaborate and share a space.

From my experience, comparing a (sort-of) WYSIWIG Squeak workspace with that browser's text area I find it much easier to concentrate on content in the workspace. Or why else would I make this request, eh?! ;-) Cheers, - Andreas
