  1. 1. I'm on Moneropedia. I expect from the name that I could edit like Wikipedia. This is not the case, so disappointement (not really because I knew thanks to insider information that it would probably not be the case, but if I did not have this information, I would have)
  2. 2. I search the page and I find "open a issue". I'm already wondering how it would be possible to get the right article, but let's see
  3. 3. As I suspected, this is not going to be fun. The page says nothing about article. At least, the "new issue" button is easy to find
  4. 4. Uh-uh. Do I have to get the original text and mention what I want to change? Can't be serious, right? I just decided I won't edit this sort-of-pedia, I will only propose new articles (namely, Dust, because I was listening the missive at this moment). Plus, markdown is supported but no toolbar, which is the best solution against Markdown's forks http://blog.codinghorror.com/the-future-of-markdown/.
  5.  
  6. "Wiki" means "fast" and this definitely is not fast:
  7. - no direct-to-article editing
  8. - no edit-in-place editing
  9. - no toolbar
  10. - no unified syntax (see the codinghorror comment above)
  11.  
  12. What to do:
  13. - direct-to-article might be done on getmonero.org (would probably require writing a script which autocreates an entry or allows modifying existing entry)
  14. - edit-in-place is probably not possible without heavy coding, since it requires relying on github's code
  15. - same for toolbar, for the same reason (github's code)
  16. - unified syntax is either unfixable (no toolbar) or non-issue (a toolbar)
