When editing long texts, I just cut and paste from gedit (so far the hebrew editing in mozilla-based products seems far behind - even thunderbird is abit annoying with hebrew).
Re: moinmoin demo: Since Shlomi made it clear he prefers not to maintain an extra wiki (mediawiki is used by two other sites on that server), and he IS our host, the existing moinmoin installation will be removed from python.org.il (probably moved to my private home or something). The current list of problems (mostly in the "Meta Discussions" page) is a bit outdated, so I suggest we update it and prepare an ordered list of *specific* issues (each issue, if/when solved, should be moved to a help/FAQ page). Since it seems that some people here know and like moinmoin, we can also include a list comparing media and moin, so if an overwhelming majority accumulates to the moinmoin side, it could be reconsidered.
