Hi,

recently I saw some phabricator tickets that people complain about having difficulties to setup the math extension and configure it to get it working with restbase [1,2,3 ...].

I wonder if that also effects other service dependent extensions such as cite or VE?

I am aware of the medium time goal to find a good and convinient solution for this problem. However, I think we should find a intermediate solution and provide some documentation for average skilled admins of private wikis. At least for Extension:Math that is relatively straigt forward, (even though settig up a restbase instance seems like a slight overkill for a wiki like pokewiki http://pokewiki.de/ that use only some formulae.) The most difficult point during the setup is the creation of the swagger config [4]. One of my students suggested that we should try http://editor.swagger.io to simplyfiy the creation of the swagger config.

Do you have experience with editing the services config files with that editor, or do you use a different editor?
