Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/Problems on Portuguese Wikipedia/reply

You have the right premises, but the wrong conclusion.

We have two facts :


 * 1) Editing smoothly with a visual editor is indispensable to the future of Wikipedia.
 * 2) The visual editor in its current state is absolutely lamentable.

What solution do I see ?

Hire 1000 (good) developers.

Seriously. Wikimedia asks for dollars for various purposes, useful and useless. But Wikimedia never focus a campaign on hiring people. And Wikimedia employs, I think, very few people. So guess why MediaWiki has so many unfixed bugs and limitations. Wikimedia could highlight the fact of creating many jobs.

MediaWiki needs workers. A lot of workers.
