Hi, Maximilian! Thanks for your interest in our plans. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Future is the best place to read what we have planned. The very short answer is -- yes! You have described basically what we are planning to do. :-) You might especially be interested in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Visual_editor/Software_design and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Visual_editor/Phase_2 Gabriel Wicke and Trevor Parscal can help you find ways to help out -- they read this list, and Gabriel is often on IRC during the German daytime as gwicke in the #mediawiki channel on Freenode. Thanks! -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitext-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitext-l
