Fixing the wysiwyg editor has got to be #1 priority for most people.

| Hi Savitha,
| 
| I'd like to be more helpful with this request, but it's a little
| difficult,
| because I haven't had much of a chance to put the rwiki into action -
| its
| user interface is a bit much for the novice. I've managed to get it
| used on
| a site for programmers, but that never quite took off, so it's hard for
| me
| to recommend too much.
| 
| That said, I'll try:
| 
| 1. site admin ("Maintain" ) should be able to delete, and I like the
| idea of
| being able to delegate the responsibility to a wiki-master.
| 
| 2. I like the idea of the comments being deleted with the wiki, it's
| cleaner, if somebody wants to create a separate wiki page out of the
| comments for posterity ( or CYA ) perhaps that should be an option, but
| otherwise, they're gone too. Principle Of Least Surprise works well
| here.
| 
| 3. I like comments on/off to be site wide by default, that's the way
| most
| folks will likely think of it. (POLS again)
| 
| Hope this helps Savitha,
| 
| Charlie
