I consider myself as an average skilled user. Do other users need one or ask for one? I don´t know. However, I see Wikipedia without WYSIWYG and most Wikipedia authors are definitely far away from being a hackers brain. ;-) Other examples, and quite compareable to us, are wiki.ubuntuusers.de as well as the community wiki at ubuntu.com. They don´t have WYSIWYG either. If a WYSIWYG editor is a risk to our content, I would recommend not to have one. I´d rather recommend to use LibreOffice Writer and its "Export to MediaWiki" functionality. :-) 2 ct, Stefan -- LibreOffice - Die Freiheit nehm' ich mir! -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/website/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
