format should it be in and what information should it contain?

I think Chad (^demon) was the the one focusing on this area. We should ask him what his plans were.

I had some rough ideas, but they never got fleshed out. In my ideal world, I was thinking something like an abstract Extension class that each extension would implement. It would have methods for returning things $wgExtensionCredits does now, as well as being able to say "I depend on Foo" extension. Then we'd have some kind of ExtensionRegistry, so enabling an extension would be something like ExtensionRegistry::register( new MyExt );

But yeah, I never really got further than that.
