We've adding separate edit UI for admin and non-admin in the new version, so
this should make Sputnik simpler, actually, at least to the casual user.
For administration, I am wondering why you feel that it's more complicated.
Things that were available in earlier versions are not any more complicated
to do in the newer ones, it seems to me.  Perhaps specific examples will
help.

Adding WYSIWYG editor probably wouldn't be too hard - we could just
integrate TinyMCE into Sputnik and then store the actual HTML (rather than
Markdown) in the nodes.  I don't think it would be a complicated project,
but I've got 20 other sputnik-related things at the moment, so I don't think
I will realistically get to this in the next few months.  If someone wants
to do this, I'll help, but I can't take a lead on it.

Sure. If it's something I can understand, I'm ready to help with
> documentation !

The most useful thing to do in terms of documentation would be to first of
all identify gaps in what we have, perhaps fix up the current documentation
in specific and ask good questions.  When people ask specific quesitons,
answering them is usually not that hard.  Thinking of the documentation as a
whole and figuring out what's missing is more work.
