If a user (like myself) happened to take it upon himself to begin work on coding brand new wiki software based on MediaWiki, and released it under a free license, and made it fairly easy to upgrade to on a server running a MediaWiki database (i.e. just change all the PHP files), and it was (assume this) in fact much better than MediaWiki 1.10a, would the Wikimedia Foundation adopt it for its projects?
Just a question. Because MediaWiki 2.0 would be pretty sexy, but no one seems to be proactive about it. And I'd like to be.
