Not too sure, but at the time the note was written by Manuel and your 
note, Florian, the editor was still available when I logged in. I just 
checked and it is still working. Thanks Manuel (as well for the fixes).

As to whether the use/non-use of the editor is a good indicator, I don't 
think that we could judge it this way. It looks like the Wiki has had a 
long culture of being wiki-code-user driven. Having a WYSIWYG editor 
sounds like a  relatively new addition (remember that I am still a 
relatively new member at LibO, never having participated in OOo groups 
at all). It will take a while for the news of WYSIWYG availability to 
sink in with the general membership. It will take time for this news to 
percolate down to the non-wiki-code editor users.

If we had a permanent use of WYSIWYG tools, which is what I believe we 
have (except for the little bumps with problem tools), we will need to 
advertise the "friendliness" of the wiki tool-set to the membership and 
encourage them to join in and participate.

We also need to do a little more mentorship with new members to the 
wiki. The bottom line is that the more knowledgeable our membership the 
better results achieved.

So, unless there are severe problems, why would we not offer the WYSIWYG 
editor as another selection of edititng tools for the wiki?
