The GUI editor will be disable in Lenny's moinmoin 1.7, because it uses an
old version of "fckeditor" (it will be back in Squeeze's moinmoin 1.8+).
Therefore I agree we should disable the GUI editor. I find it sensible to
disable the GUI too.

This can be acheive by adding the following lines in /etc/moin/$foobar.cfg
   editor_force = True
   editor_default = 'text'

I suggest that we cordinate this change when we change to the "new" wiki
Frontpage "layout" (basically, switch to moinmoin "modern" CSS and use a
sidebar...), preview at:
