Need better file upload interface

I agree with Brunhilda— the upload interface needs to be fleshed out further. I'm deploying a grassroots wiki in a non-profit organization, and I can hardly see a way of training people to use the current file upload scheme.

There should be an easy way to upload files and drop the link into the page source— for example, a wizard button added to the page editor that would guide users through uploading, and generate and drop the link into the page automatically.

It's way too unwieldy to have to upload a file, then click on the page options again, get info for the file, copy the link, go back up to edit the page, drop the link in, &c.

Wikidot is generally so elegant… can we elegantize this feature a bit further?
