So, when we talk of making the wikipedia software more general (and faster, of course;-), is anyone opposed to throw in some *possible* restrictions for, say, editing, uploading etc.? They'll be off by default, so wikipedia won't change a bit, but we could use the same code with a few changed variables for the Sifter.
No objections - just a few more "if($wgSomeGlobalVar)"s I guess. But perhaps you could post a more detailed proposal of what you want to change and how.
Also, I still think that a well-integrated, generalized group certification system makes more sense than a separate filter project.

Erik
