Hi List,
I'm looking for someone with commit access that would be willing to sponsor my extension. I'd like to release a special page I wrote that allows a user to pick a date and then shows a page grouping of changes that have been made to the wiki since then into "New Articles", "New Images", "Changed Articles", "Changed Images", "Deleted Articles", and "Deleted Images". The page also uses Special:Export to make an xml file of the brand new articles. The extension works well enough for what we are using it for, but I'm certain the community could improve it and I think that some people might find it useful.

Hi Courtney,
While I am afraid that I can not help you in your quest for a sponsor, I just wanted you to know that /this/ member of the community would find such an extension *very* useful.
Please keep us posted!

Why not put up an extension page on mediawiki.org for the extension with the code on it? Then some random committer can commit it? I have committed some MW.org extensions in the past. If I remember correctly String Functions was originally not inside the MW repo till I pulled it off MW.org

Hi Daniel,
I considered that, and I may still, but the extension consists of 5 files. One of which is the php zip library. I did make an Extension page for it.
Thanks! -Courtney
