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 :)
