Please don't!
The LuceneSearch extension should DIE DIE DIE. Do not update it or do
any further development on it, please.
Instead, update the search front-end in MediaWiki with any necessary new
interfaces to fully support a backend plugin for Lucene.

Hmmm... How is an API client meant to figure out what to do with this
captcha data, when there seems to be nothing consistent in how it's
presented? How is it meant to display a new type of challenge which
might be added in the future?
If you're going to have an API for this, I think it needs at least some
minimum future-proofing; otherwise all the clients will break when
something is tweaked in the captcha.

Hey everyone,
I'm Dave and I work for Wikia. I've been a lurker on this list, but
this is my first post and extension release, so go easy on me :P
I just wanted to let everyone know that we've bundled up some of our
social features for Open Source, including basic profile information,
friending, and "wall" messaging". It's been tested and runnning on
sites using MW 1.10. More information can be found on the extension
page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SocialProfile.
If you want to see some of the features in action, check out:

If anyone has any questions, suggestions, or issues, please let me know.
I'm looking forward to being apart of this great community!
Thanks!
David Pean
