Hello,
is there way similar to my Wikimania 2005 proposal of "Getlets" [1][2]
- to transclude text content of a file denoted by a (if possible to limit:
trusted) URL
- if possible, after sanitizing the content of the file
on MediaWiki pages ?
Purpose:
To avoid duplication of content, especially for documentation of extensions,
I wish to transclude a README file from our SVN on a Mediawiki extension
page or subpage such as
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenID .
What's your opinion ?
Is is already possible ?

seq.
It's trivial to make an extension that gets a file from a whitelisted
location in the filesystem and shows it as wikitext or plain text in the
page.
