Wikipedia needs an IDE, not a WYSIWYG editor
"Users apparently dislike this workflow so much that they don’t bother contributing at all: significantly less people are editing Wikipedia than did a few years ago."To be fair, I think this exaggerates the role of the editing UI -- if the editing UI was that bad, then people wouldn't have contributed in the first place. The more common narrative for reduced participation is the growth of cultural issues which make it less rewarding to participate (e.g. http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/520446/the-dec... ).(Edit: Not trying to be negative -- the suggestions in the article sound cool anyway.)
