That you would propose a not what You See Is What You Get editor, and one that coders love as vim. Terrible idea. Now, if you would propose
You can use both. WYSIWYG editor in the browser at least (probably there are also offline Markdown editors, I never needed one so have not checked this out) and any plain text editor. It does not need to be vim. NOTEPAD.EXE will do just fine, too ;-)
LyX, that would be acceptable.
Sorry, I can not contribute documentation that way.
So a Web-only WYSIWIG editor is fine with the wiki, but not with github? OK.
I think there are probably openSUSE wiki contributors who have little or no idea what github is or how it works. Will our openSUSE logins work on github?
That's true, I don't.
No, AFAIK most wikis only allow to "hold" changes for review, but is it also possible that multiple people make changes at multiple places in a document at the same time and can these be integrated in a mostly automatic way? I did not yet encounter a wiki with such a feature.
wikipedia? as for "multiple people make changes at multiple places in a document at the same time", TMK that has never been an issue. With even fewer contributors, it will likely never become an issue.
Once upon a time, the Spanish team of translators coordinated using the wiki. We had the list of files in the wiki, in a table, and each translator would write on the wiki that he was working on file "filename", marking it when starting and again when finishing. So yes, several people would be editing the same wiki page at the same time.
So you'll not lose many editing features as a contributor, but the "manager" of the whole compilation of docs will gain many powerful tools. (I'm not saying "you'll not lose any features", as I do not know all features of the used wiki software).
To me, the one key feature is the speed of making changes. find page, edit, make change, save. If that is retained with the move, including my openSUSE login, I have no issues.
I think this is not the case. And it adds a reviewer. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
