Re: [libreoffice-website] Re: [WIKI] WYSIWYG editor

Hi,

I have to second Marc here, except for his comment on Silverstripe. I
realize a few people are used to the Mediawiki syntax (the languae and
formatting used without the WYSIWYG editor) but if we take it out we
will expect serious drops in productivity and contribution.

I would suggest we look at alternatives for a wiki platform.

Best,
Charles.
