Agreed, vast majority of SE problems are not field problems. I spend a
lot of my time in fields and it's pleasant. Responsive in most cases.

I'm in the same boat. I hope most people seriously affected can (like
us) make the right tweaks for their machines.

Yep, that's my fear. Adding project wiki (or anything else) to the
already chubby SE is a bit scary for me. I would feel more at ease with
a separate wiki window in LC that does nothing at all unless opened. I
do value the debugging and variables inside SE, I want them there, but
it's getting heavy and that's enough.
Wiki is not essential to the act of script editing, and perhaps not an
exact match either - after all, a project involves UI too, and data, and
for some people and projects that might loom larger than the code. A
UI-centered person might feel that it's in the wrong place and hate
going into SE to make notes about UI. Although I do understand the
passion to integrate something cool! Meanwhile dictionary comments could
just go in the dictionary; potentially a separate and very simple project.

Sounds good! I bet it will be quite impressive. Just try to ensure the
un-integrated mode is seriously and extremely un-integrated. :)

That will be a neat project to see. Glad you have a vision for it. Great
things are possible.
