Part of my motivation is that many people seem to install MediaWiki and expect a wiki that acts very similar to Wikipedia, with which they are more familiar. Now, part of the problem is documentation — these people don't understand how the functionality of MediaWiki is partitioned. But in addition to documentation, we can start providing the most expected functionality in the tarball.
Speaking as a tarball user: Yes please!
Immediately, the objection of “bloat” would be raised. To alleviate this concern, we can still provide a “MediaWiki-lite” tarball with only the contents of phase3 as before.
Works for me.
So my list would be: Cite ParserFunctions Gadgets WikiEditor
I would also ask for CategoryTree, though my users (office workers, a mix of geeks and non-geeks) could live without it.
Suggestion: ask on mediawiki-l and mwusers.com, where tarball users might be found.
