Only at the expense of sacrificing some, most, or all of the work they're already doing. $800,000 is not a particularly large sum for a programming project, and the usability project had to prioritize it. They decided to target things other than WYSIWYG first. I'd be inclined to think that's wise, without having considered the issue very deeply. Full WYSIWYG *is* really needed, but it would be unjustifiably expensive when there are so many more minor improvements that could be (and are being) made much more easily. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
