[Commons-l] New JavaScript toy: "Gallery preview"

[Magnus Manske]

OK, I have written an extension called "MiniPreview". It does what
gallerypreview does, only better:
* Faster
* also uses gallery pages (thumbnail images are then ordered by name)
* can be limited to max number of categories/galleries/both (display issues)
* i18n through MediaWiki namespace (built in, working on the details)
* list of categories to ignore is editable though the same mechanism
* adaptable through CSS

I'll put the latest paint on in tomorrow. Now if only someone could
help me get this live on Commons...
