please add a wysiwig editor to the wiki!

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Our present wiki — MediaWiki — doesn’t have a wysiwig editor, which means that to do anything with formatting you need to use HTML or wikimarkup, neither of which are very user-friendly. Can we add a wysiwig editor to our installation?

Make ‘go’ links easier to find

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
  • When possible, add a note with the appropriate go/ short-cut to the headers of pages with go/ links, so folks will know how to get there again.
  • Create an easy to find reverse gotionary–and, possibly category directory–of go/links, with all the items that currently have go/links. Sometimes it’s difficult to figure out what the go/ link could be.
