I have a question: if we use radeox is the new editor going to be  
better than the old one?

I think it's not worth doing it. When the old syntax is used there  
shouldn't be any way to edit the page using the new WYSIWYG editor  
IMO. That will also provide another incentive to move to the new syntax.

However moving to the new syntax is not something so we'll need to  
make it as painless as possible.

I think this new wysiwyg + the new rendering may warrant us calling  
this XWiki 2.0 when we activate them and make them the default. We  
could release 1.6 with these as options only that can enabled in the  
configuration. Then release a 2.0 with them enabled by default and  
with the old ones as configurable.

WDYT?

Thanks
