Wikimedia launches new prototype 'visual editor' for Wikipedia

Wikimedia launches new prototype 'visual editor' for Wikipedia

Who doesn't love using the largest multilingual free encyclopedia on the Internet that is Wikepedia. Today, Wikimedia – the San Francisco-based organization operating Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, and many others – is launching the new prototype "visual editor". The new visual editor aims to expand the number of people who contribute to the online encyclopedia. The company blames the difficulty in learning its wikitext, a lightweight markup language used to write pages in wiki sites, as the roadblock to growing its editor community.
