[edit] 1 Import/Export

[edit] 1.1 Wiki

Special:Export and Special:Import do allow you to move things between wiki's very easily.

Also, it's easy to both all pages and uploads (for the whole wiki), so that they can be used in other wikis, or kept for backup in a format that makes sense.

[edit] 1.2 pdf/odt

Pdf and odt export is possible of both pages, and arbitrary selections.

[edit] 1.3 Import from OO

OO3 can export in mediawiki formatting

[edit] 2 Editing

[edit] 2.1 Section Editing

You can just hit 'edit' and you're just editing this section. With javascript enabled, you should be able to right click on the section to edit.

[edit] 2.2 Fast

At least if your server is reasonable, a round trip between 'edit', making a change, and 'save', is quite quick. Though on slower servers, I have found it a little too slow for comfort.

[edit] 2.3 External Editor

Apparently it's possible to use an external edit with mediawiki, but Bjoern hasn't tried.
