The general agreement among Wiki gurus has always been that any
WYSIWYG editor is a hack at best.  Implementing it on the OOo Wiki was
met with quite a lot of resistance which is why I eventually
implemented it there as disabled by default any anyone who wanted it
had to explicitly enable it.

FCKEditor for MediaWiki (is that what LibreOffice WIki was using?) is
obsolete although some people are still poking at it and using it on
1.17 and 1.18.  To get it working (last I checked) you have to do some
unsupported twiddling in the extension itself.

There is a "new" WYSIWYG editor for MW 1.16/1.17
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WYSIWYG which should work...
in theory.  Have you looked at this extension?
