Abstract

[WikiText http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/Incubator/WikiText] is a new component of Mylyn, supporting lightweight markup for its task editor. The goal of this project is to extend Mylyn’s task editor to provide rich text viewing and editing of lightweight markup such as Textile and MediaWiki. Detailed proposal is available here: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~jingweno/soc/SoC2008.pdf. This project is part of Google Summer of Code 2008.
