Perhaps it would be clever to delay the work towards release 1.5 and to concentrate on this long-wanted SUL ? T.
Lots of things are long-wanted. 1.5 needs to go live ASAP for performance reasons. Anyway, the code for SUL was written and released in 1.4, the only thing missing is a conversion script and a sysadmin brave enough to apply it. So there's no need to tie it to the release cycle. The email authentication problem can be solved in some other way, such as marking all existing email addresses authenticated.
Tim:
better use the switch I had introduced ;-))
in DefaultSettings.php simply set
$wgEmailAuthentication = false;
This means, that the database is left untouched, the feature is disabled. Later, when SUL works, set it to true, and the addresses can be authenticated by the users at their discretion. (When a user needs a temporary password - because s/he forgot the regular one - the wiki sends also to unconfirmed addresses. Only the "higher" e-mail functions e-mail user and e-mail notification only sends to confirmed addresses if the switch is set to "true")
