Feh. I said no such thing. I said that if you wanted to do multiple page edits without spamming the change-notification mailing list, then SubWiki makes it possible [by following the steps you suggest].
In no way did I say it was "comparably simple" to standard Wiki editing. Of course not... jeez, just how small do you think my brain is? :-)
Sorry, I clearly overreacted. Apologies :-)
1) go to a page 2) edit it 3) save it
and I disagree.
If it means I can edit the page in my fancy editor of choice rather than a dumb web browser then it is much simpler.
And standard tools and standard commit emails and standard access control and all kinds of other stuff.
Point taken and appreciated.
The (only?) beauty of a wiki is its dead-simple editing cycle.
I believe sub wiki also has a TTW editing interface. No reason you can't have both. Because it uses subversion to hold pages, the interface is nicely seperated from the data store.
Yes. You definitely cna edit pages via the web site. That *is* what a Wiki is all about. Not the stupid formatting rules.

And "both" is actually incorrect. You have four ways to view the content and three ways to edit the content:
1) read/write via the Wiki itself 2) read/write via working copies 3) read/write via WebDAV (new from sussman and jerenkrantz) 4) read via web browser
This implements separation of concerns and everybody knows I'm happy when I see that :)
Sure, it is not ready for primetime, but I like the idea a lot.
The code is ready, but I don't have all the "standard" formatting rules and macros in there right now. There are a number of things that people expect which just aren't in there.
This is not a problem as I think people might add those if needed.
And Python is much easier than Perl for java people anyway :)
