I do agree with you concerning WYSIWYG option, but I must
recognise I am a bit of a mess about the available options.
Have you successfully tried any of them?
 
I also agree with Fernando: some content could act as a
trigger for participation. In my case these "useful
contents" have a clear end: a paper sent to a
publisher, lets say, for instance, Science. So the full
example must include how it is expected the content
developed within the wiki environment can be exported to the
required format. That is why I am concern about this issue.
Please, David, have you any experience with this particular?
Thanks.
 
I understand that I am trying to use a tool created for free
creation/free access of contents to developed proprietary
knowledge. But this is the way things work in a huge number
of places and to cope with this situations the only way to
promote the collaboration, share of knowledge and production
of freely accessible information/knowledge.
 
As another example, I think this document could be also
useful for you...
