Beat writers are going to write up their beats differently in Fedora 
Insight than they do now on the wiki.  This will take a bit of getting 
used to as any change does, but once the editor is in place, it should 
be roughly equivalent in the amount of work, if I have to guesstimate 
from this vantage point.

The larger question, I suppose is whether we should try to maintain FWN 
on the wiki as well as FWN within Fedora Insight, at least during the 
Oct.14- FUDCon Toronto (Dec 7-9).  I think if FI is successful, we can 
completely migrate from the wiki to zikula as the delivery mechanism, 
which means we can free ourselves of wiki markup and think of these 
purely as HTML-enhanced text.
