Ok. options: a. we wait for Adobe to make this format opensource ;-) b. we let the end-user chose (no forcing). I know still in conflict with the mission but....
This example/prototype wiki editor is developed in a way that makes integration with MW sites easy. It can be used by ' simple' wikiusers and wiki-language experts so it will be used I think. When the editor component has enough functionality and is stable enough, it can be integrated in some kind of wikiclient / desktop application. And as you can guess a lot of RIA functionality will then be available. Then no forcing and relative independent from MW development. I am floating on my dream and still see beautifull things in the near future...... Thanks for your reactions.
