Yeah, I realized the Web interface was basically useless a while ago. But, its not all that useful if I can't write spec files anyhow. The wiki so often is missing stuff or its inaccurate or out of date that I don't even look at it anymore unless the link is recommended to me. I would happily fix things if there was an editor, but as it stands I don't know the markup for the wiki and the ability to export to MediaWiki in LibreOffice doesn't actually work.
Wiki markup is really really simple... in fact you can even add/correct content without using a single bit of markup... just plain text. The basics... are logical and simple ''italic'' (two single quotes) '''bold''' (three single quotes) == Heading 2 == === Heading 3 === * Bullet 1 ** Bullet 2 # Number 1 ## Number 2 <space>Code format (leading space before text) If you know these few basic markup styles, you can do most anything you would need in a MediaWiki... anything "extra" can be cleaned up/fixed by the MediaWiki gurus. There is of course loads more you can do in MWiki, but.. to get started you do not need more than this. And.. to be honest, you don't even need to know this level of markup if you want to fix existing content or even add new content... all you really need is a keyboard and the ability to spell in your preferred language... just write plain text and put a double hard return between paragraphs... add/fix the content and leave it to the gurus to tweak it if needed. Someone WILL step up and correct the syntax if you get it horribly wrong... and nothing is permanent in MWiki... mess it up an dit can be rolled back to the last good version in a second or two. Export MediaWiki form LibreOffice is only practical for large article content... and it works.. it's just not all that intuitive (although once you know the steps, it's pretty simple).
