Wikitext - réflexion sur son intérêt - écribalilecture

Do you speak French ? There is a Sorbonne (Paris) / Montpellier working research on what they name « écrilecture » the fact that on a screen you write AND read at the same time. Actually we also use beacons/mark-ups to talk to the parser. This then becomes « ecribalilecture » (French for beacon is « balise »). Today we talk in using words (mots, in French) and bots. Introducing beacons/mark-ups extends our authority over the text (its presentation) helping grasp the reader’s attention with the typography we want (notion of orthotypography). I have also several « local » (thematic WGs) wikis.

Hi everybody,

in the context of our neighborhood's MediaWiki installation (about 100 users) I'm dealing with a problem that probably many MW administrators have faced before: for technical reasons (and my own limitations) I'm not in a position to easily install the Visual Editor and I need to help a very etherogenous group of people understand the philosophy and the advantages of WikiText compared to what they are used to: Microsoft Word or similar.

I feel I might have to install Bluespice, as it seems to have a WYSIWYG editor, but I also feel that would be giving up on the WYSIWYM editor, which is a feature, not a bug.

I found a few texts on the matter, but they all seem to be a bit outdated. They also tend to make no mention about the accessibility concerns that somehow wikitext, among other things, tries to ameliorate.

Can anybody recommend some resources in this context?
