I don't understand what makes using Writer better than using > the Wiki editor Compared to the full featured editing environment that Writer provides a Wiki editor is crude. Please don't get me wrong, I like wikis and am strongly in favour of them, that is why I started the wiki on writing OOo extensions: ext.openoffice.org.nz. It is just that I see the Open Document Format as being an opportunity to dramatically improve the usability of interactive web content. I haven't investigated writing plugins for MediaWiki. I think it would would be easy to modify my DokuWiki macro to produce the somewhat crude text file format for MediaWiki: http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/ Agreed, all OOo users/developers will have a browser, and all computer users don't have OpenOffice. But, all OOo developers will have OOo and this makes it an ideal place to experiment with using the Open Document format as a standard for interactive web content for things like wikis.
