Not really sure, but I know what you mean. BTW, I am working on something similar, but only as a sort of sideline to my work on Multimedia Usability. Not really ready for prime time yet. HotCats is still the most featureful and most compatible with various use cases (such as category editing). > BTW.

At the WMF, we just met with Wikia on Monday about how we can move forward together on the whole WYSIWYG front. Wikia does have a lot of nice GUI features and they say they've ironed out most of their "dirty diff" issues. Nevertheless they only have part of an engineer's time dedicated to editing issues[1]. So one way or another, it's going to be the MediaWiki community that takes WYSIWYG forward. The question is whether Wikia's editor is a good basis for progress on Wikimedia projects. We're trying to figure that out right now. Anyway, we're going to be talking with Wikia on a more regular basis in the future, no matter what. [1] My impression is that Wikia is really more about building on *top* of the MediaWiki platform. (They said as much in that meeting). Their main business is hosting thousands and thousands of wikis, building features that are amusing or engaging to their audience, adapting the software for advertising and commercial entities, and so on. -- Neil Kandalgaonkar |) <ne...@wikimedia.org> _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
