Forum:Usability

Has anyone heard of the Wikipedia Usability Initiative? It looks like they're trying to add some new extensions to Wikipedia in order to make it easier to use. There's also a survey that features many extensions found on Wikia. Since we have much more experience with these extensions, including the WYSIWYG editor, maybe some of us should take part in the survey too. I'm also wondering what people here think about the WYSIWYG editor. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 22:56, 9 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I never used it and if i would have the choice i never will.. I prefer to see real wiki code. Every now and then i paste wiki code in a simple text editor to better see it and i think obscuring wiki code is bad.
 * Ok, it facilitate contribution of less "computer oriented" individual or new users but not making them learn wiki code isn't helping them.
 * For everything we do in life, we must learn how to do it before. Reading, cooking, driving, using a computer, everything. I think people are just so lazy (although they would say they just dont have the time to). — TulipVorlax 00:20, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
