Hi Tj <blush> -- our WE family appreciated your accolades and good wishes for the future. You are right -- great things are going to happen.
With funding support from the New Zealand Ministry of Education we will be addressing your concerns relating to a more user friendly environment. In the near future we will be implementing a WYSIWYG rich text editing option for new members of WikiEducator. Watch this space ....
