Completely agreed! But if we ease the entry point, people
has less a  
reason to initially reject the proposed environment.

During the last years I've moved from WordStar to
WordPerfect to Word  
to FrameMaker to/moving to LaTeX or any SGML/XML based
solution. And  
of course the WYSIWYG becomes just a piece of the whole
puzzle. But  
most of the people arriving to the team come from a Windows
based  
environment. A slightly more featured WYSIWYG environment
should ease  
the transition.

Probably I've missed something here. All I know is the
Export Pages  
Special page.  But it seems intended to move a wiki article
from a  
wiki installation to another, but no XML tag is added to the
body of  
the article. It moves to the XML file with the original
Mediawiki  
tagging.

Please, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Best,

Ricardo
