What is happening with the MediaWiki Wave project? Have you guys heard of that? WYSIWYG for MediaWiki with all of wave's features could be a starting point for this idea. On Nov 19, 2:54 pm, SantaBrígida wrote: > I guess the closest we are getting towards this dream is with the Code > Snippet Gad

I guess the closest we are getting towards this dream is with the Code Snippet Gadget. Search for a wave with the tags 'code', 'snippet' and you shall find it. The wave ID is googlewave.com+252By2RZbMagM Yours, Luciano. On 18 nov, 23:57, Olreich wrote: > Or, have the live update only happen when

Wow! What a response! Thank you :) I have read the full discussion now and Im not sure I got everything, since Im a bit too tired, but... You said that WYSIWYG-editing might be hard if you are several users working on the same page - Possible solution: A function that lets you highlight/cut out/m

Perhaps a better use of resources would be to add these "missing" layout/formatting features directly into Wave? Improve the existing WYSIWYG features of Wave, in other words, without giving up and reimplementing it elsewhere? Many users of a web publishing tool may find the editor capabilities i

It looks like I was the only one that was especially concerned with WYSIWYG or gadgets. I think it is wise to focus on approaches that take advantage of as many of the Wave tools as possible. So you guys have a point about the emphasis on robots. Maybe another more general suggestion might be to

A gadget for display makes sense, a gadget for editing essentially skips the entire idea of collaborative editing (WYSIWYG editing makes it much more difficult to do things collaboratively, as that's a ton of rendering without canvas). I disagree with WYSIWYG in general though, as I've used Dreamwe

Seems like a good idea to me. Wave API does seem vaguely inappropriate now that we're talking about design rather than whether or not the API can handle it. On Nov 19, 12:04 pm, Jason Livesay wrote: > Obviously, there is more than one valid and useful approach to this idea of > website editing in

Obviously, there is more than one valid and useful approach to this idea of website editing in a Wave. I just wanted to mention again that I personally would put more effort into the gadget and WYSIWYG side of things than to the robot and markup side of things. I feel that web development has rea

Or, have the live update only happen when the HTML is valid (the entire web could be improved by forcing validation xD). Though that might cause some SERIOUS overhead for the robot. On Nov 18, 9:52 pm, cmdskp wrote: > And have some nice DOCUMENT_CHANGED tag and attribute auto-completing > done by

And have some nice DOCUMENT_CHANGED tag and attribute auto-completing done by the robot. =) The main problem is nested content and how when one user is maybe working on one section of the IFrame it suddenly jumps around because another person has inserted an incomplete tag above - could be disturb

Great idea. I think the best method of editing would be to have a HTML/ JS/CSS syntax highlighter (Robot). A gadget (essentially just an iframe pointing at a temp-website with the data in it) showing a rendered version of the web-page based upon the current code. This will enable the web-page code
