Hi Chris,
The WYSIWYG editor is quite ambitious.. There are two ways..
1/ Integrating an Editor like FCKEditor with back and forth Wiki Syntax
conversion
2/ Making a pure DHTML AJAX Editor able to edit in place and have the
data inserted in the Wiki Syntax document in memory and show up
transformed as HTML on the Fly (by Javascript or by a call to the
server).. Existing tools like BitFlux Editor or this project around
WikiMedia could be good starting points:

I view the number 2/ like the most ambitious project. It's not easy at
all but would be really powerfull since it would allow to have real
WYSIWYG editing including for non HTML elements (XWiki macros for
example which could be replaced by a preview block which could be edited
using a WIZARD).
If you want to have your project accepted you need to present a vision
of what you would like to do and be pretty ambitious.. There are lot's
of proposals so it needs to stand out.. Now if it is too difficult you
might fail completing it.. Choose the right balance..

Hello,
I just found what I was looking for to do! I would like to work on
the WYSIWYG editor. I am assuming this refers to editing the actual
Wiki pages. Although I haven't done (much) AJAX work, I'm pretty quick
to learn.
Please, let me know if you have an opening, and what you envision for
the editor. I can also be reached with AIM under arke87. Thanks :)
