Hi all, <div><br></div><div>I have heard from some of you that it would be very helpful to have some stability in the exposed classes/methods of MediaWiki core for extension development and to look at MediaWiki as a programming interface. I raised this as an issue with the developer community and was told that this has been a priority since version 1.18 and the following email by Daniel. <br>

It has only been two major releases since then, so maybe the problem has actually been solved to a great extend but people have not been able to feel it much yet. Are you still experiencing such problems? </div>
