Bug#512368: please disable the gui editor

[Holger Levsen]

package: wiki.debian.org
severity: wishlist

Hi,

reading the diff of edits done by the gui editor is terribly, as it 
adds random linebreaks and other changes, making spotting the real diff 
really hard.

Please disable the GUI editor completly or provide a way to disable it for 
certain pages, like wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/*


Thanks,
Holger

P.S.: great that the wiki now has its own pseudo package in the BTS!

The GUI editor will be disable in Lenny's moinmoin 1.7, because it uses an
old version of fckeditor (it will be back in Squeeze's moinmoin 1.8+).
Therefore I agree we should disable the GUI editor. I find it sensible to
disable the GUI too.

This can be acheive by adding the following lines in /etc/moin/$foobar.cfg
   editor_force = True
   editor_default = 'text'

I suggest that we cordinate this change when we change to the new wiki
Frontpage layout (basically, switch to moinmoin modern CSS and use a
sidebar...), preview at:
