Is MediaWiki really "so hard to use"?
My simple answer is: no! :-)
Points to consider:
- BBC REPORT: Jimmy Wales says Wikipedia too complicated for many. [3]
- The panel ‘Wikipedia and the Place of Resistance’ at WikiWars DAY 2 in Bangalore introduced some fascinating arguments about why people either leave Wikipedia (a perspective from US Internet Analyst, William Buetler) or why they’re not interested in Wikipedia (Yi-Ping Tsou about why Taiwan does not like Wikipedia). [4]
- I've started creating a simplified help page for my students working on Wikipedia. [5]
- From April 2012: Wikidata to provide structured data for all Wikipedia versions [6]
