I agree that in a controlled setting where students are being taught
how to use wikicode that it can produce a more polished output.  But
I'm not talking about those few people we can reach as students; I'm
talking about educators coming in "off the street", who by and large
will find wikicode such a high barrier to participation that they will
dismiss us as a project meant only for techies.
