Making Midgard Wiki easier

Since Maemo.org started using the Midgard wiki component there has been discussion on whether it is feature-complete or easy enough to use. Main complaints have been about the "latest changes" view not supporting sub-wikis and missing Markdown documentation.

Latest updates are now shown in a way quite similar to MoinMoin:

Wiki-Latest-Updates

Markdown should be easier to edit with the toolbar:

Wiki-Markdown-Toolbar

Markdown syntax reference is available by clicking the help icon in the top-right corner of the toolbar:

Wiki-Markdown-Cheatsheet

The Markdown toolbar is based on Control.TextArea and is available to any datamanager2 field using the "markdown" widget type. Similarly, the "Change message" field is a regular text field of type "rcsmessage" that will update the revision control service.

Updated 15:24: Since preview was also a popular request I've added that too:

Wiki-Preview

Note: this has been tagged to appear also on Planet Maemo since the changes discussed here were requested by them.
