Thanx :)
Let's hope that someone who knows Perl is motivated (I am not a developer and don't speak Perl). I also noticed that the original author, Erik Moeller, is now a deputy director of Wikipedia and he might care about his original baby or maybe know someone who does :)
Anyhow, more fundamentally speaking, it would be really good to have this feature again. So here is some motivational speak: I understand that most wikipedia authors rather do smaller edits and for this purpose a through-the-web editor is fine. Other mediawiki sites (include wikimedia places like wikibooks or wikiversity) do have users that intensively work on several long pages at the same time and who are able to get a maximum out of a programming editor like emacs or Jedit, Eclipse or whatever .... I sometimes spend days in row writing and organizing and this feature really helped. Installing ee.pl wasn't difficult at all under Ubuntu :)
Bawolff has fixed it in r72770. Replace your ee.pl with the one from http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/ee/ee.pl?view=co
