I'd have to wait and see how far they're able to get with it
for MediaWiki.
However, I think that a very strong indicator of the difficulty
of the problem is that it hasn't been done yet, despite a large
demand. And keep in mind that since WikiMedia doesn't have nearly
the range of markup customization that PmWiki does, doing a good
WYSIWYG for PmWiki would be a lot harder (or require severe
restrictions on the range of customizations available).
This topic came up about four months ago; here's the message I
posted then (and its related thread).

Hope this helps,
