Hello,
Given that the current dump process is having problem, why not provide
a simple fix such as providing raw table format , SQL files or even
CSV files?
I think there are quite still many people using MySQL and prefer these
format instead of XML (as you know XML generation and parsing really
take time...)

Hi,
The method showEditForm(), in the class EditPage, takes care of displaying
nearly the entire edit page. I would like to move the last section of this
method, which handles displaying the bottom of the edit page (everything
below the edit box) into its own method, perhaps called showFooter(). (This
basically corresponds to lines 1506 to 1566 of the current EditPage.php.)
showEditForm() would then call that new method. The reason for this move is
so that the extension Semantic Forms can subclass EditPage and override the
new method. But you could also make the case that it would improve
readability, modularity, whatever else. Any thoughts/objections?

The add media Wizard is in testing see blog post:
http://metavid.org/blog/2009/03/27/add-media-wizard-and-firefogg-on-test-wi…
If no one objects (or has any blocker bugs that I have missed) I will
add the gadget option for firefogg / add media wizard to commons
shortly. (for wider testing) We could also add the basic commons search
as a gadget for wikipedia proper. (making commons image inserts much easier)

The searching remote repository and in-line upload and template via url
component that is working on test.wikimedia.org is not as easy to push
out. The implementation on test.wikimedia.org is limited to files that
it can copy in less than 30 seconds (php time out ) and is parsing html
page output to determine errors. To move the add media wizard searching
and insert into production we will need to deploy the new-upload branch.
I will be targeting fixes to upload bugs 18200, 18201, 18202 to the
new-upload branch.
Looking beyond English language gadgets ... Localization is dependent
on the javascript script server which I will create a patch for core
shortly.
