It looks fantastic. Any chance of integration with http://sharejs.org/ for real-time editing and no more edit conflicts?

Fantastic!
I’m customizing mediawiki for a huge intranet wiki of fifty thousand users and this Visual Editor is exactly what we need. It will make the contribution easier and economize a lot of training. I would like to put this into production as soon as you have a beta version. This is so good that we won’t wait for the stable version. Eventual bugs are better than have to invest in training thousands of people in Wiki markup in order to use WikiEditor.
Is there already a trunk version that we could install as an alternative editor in localsettings.php for start testing?

Congratulations on getting this far. But what about citations? Surely we don’t want to go back the bad old days of inexperienced contributors adding unsourced stuff that other people have to fix. That would accelerate the decline in experienced editors, and new editors aren’t likely to stick around if their contributions are greeted with a blizzard of “fact”, “says who?” and “uw-unsourced” messages. Sorry to pour cold water, but a visual editor that encourages unsourced content would be a disaster for Wikipedia, not a triumph. – ~~~~

Twórcy internetowej encyklopedii proszą użytkowników, by uczestniczyli oni w procesie testowania i dzielili się swoimi spostrzeżeniami. Wikimedia będzie stopniowo wydawać łatki i aktualizacje aż do wprowadzenia finalnej wersji narzędzia. [...]

This is great, and long overdue. Fantastic work.
I know there’s still lots to do but is there any policy towards smartphones? Even though mobile browsers are not listed in the supported list, my android phone can work passably with it, however text selection seems impossible on the touch screen. If it’s likely to be out of scope, would the direct manipulation interface be hidden by default with an option to try it? (this strikes me as the best approach for all unsupported browsers, even non-mobile)
