[pmwiki-users] wysiwyg editor for wiki

[DrFredC.com]

For a huge part of the 90s, I used a modest wysiwyg html editor to 
maintain a free flow web site.  Sure, I had to upload the finished 
product.  While I generally avoided html coding, it occasionally was 
desirable and attainable with a simple click to 'source'.  All in all, 
it wasn't all that different than a wiki in many ways, except for a few 
clicks to upload.

That being said, one thing that concerns me about online wysiwygs is 
overhead.  While many in the metro world operate on high speed, there's 
still a fair amount of dialup accounts out there, particularly in rural 
areas.  There's also potentially a lot of server overhead operating an 
online wysiwyg editor for a busy wiki. 

Perhaps the (best?) option might be to develop a wysiwyg editor that 
wiki/editors might download (perhaps for free, or a modest price or by 
webmaster approval) that would allow 'editors' to edit online at their 
local site using the downloaded webware. 

I suppose it's also possible such a wysiwyg editor might be configured 
to seamlessly provide an additional layer of 'security' so that only 
approved folks (like subscribers?) could edit the wiki, or some section 
of a wiki.
