I personally felt that this should've been considered as a feature in
the very first release of the SELF platform. WYSIWYG has always been
bad news.

I'll research both mediawiki and reST. I've come across reST several
times but I'm a little more inclined towards mediawiki. In any case,

about this with Nagarjuna and will keep this thread updated.
