The wiki is not intended to provide information to the wide public, but as a working tool and pinboard for the contributors inside the community. Many of them are able to use the wiki-syntax which is not that hard to learn and well documented around the web. So I do not think a WYSIWYG is mandantory for it. (We have seen some really bad editings with the old one....) Silverstripe on the other hand is equipped with a WYSIWYG-editor and I think this is very helpful there to attract people to work on the content.
