As many of you probably know, during last weeks (and also a lot of time in 2009 and 2010) I have been working on the WikiScripts extension (formerly InlineScripts), which allows to embed scripts into pages.
The language it uses, as well as the instruction of how to use it, are here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiScripts. Any clean up of the docs would be appreciated.
This all looks really great!
I have two questions, which are somewhat related:
* Has there a been a discussion/agreement about using a new scripting language on Wikimedia wikis? I know Lua, JavaScript, StringFunctions and a bunch of other options have been endlessly discussed in the past. Does your e-mail mean that a decision is made and this can move forward?
* What level of Wikimedia sysadmin support is there for this? I know you've worked on large projects in the past and have had difficulty getting code reviewed/deployed. I see Tim's name in some of the page histories (e.g., /Brainstorming), but some direct clarification about this would be great.
