 It would be awesome to use this in ikiwiki, but to take full advantage of

+it with ikiwiki, it would need to know about MarkDown. Wikiwyg does allow
+defining the text that is stuck on each side of a given html element to
+make it wikified, for example, it can add "# " for a h1, "[[" and "]]" for
+a link, etc. This seems easily doable.
+
+The other thing that would need doing is a `saveChanges` function would
+need to be implemented that saves the text back to ikiwiki.

+seems like a good starting point for building a submit form on the fly.
+
+One other problem: Wikiwyg works by parsing html from a div, turning it
+back into the wiki markup, and editing/saving that. That seems to assume
+that there's a way of parsing a page's html and getting back to the underlying
+wiki markup, which is not always the case in ikiwiki. Unless there's some 
+other way to feed it the actual source for a page, this seems like a
+problem. According to the developers, it is possible to do that, and start
+off in WikiText mode.
