We need to make the Wikipedia-code Wikipedia-independent. This isn't very hard, but some stuff needs to be fixed before Wikipedia can really be recommended as a general wiki, especially in the interlanguage links department (fortunately for us, most other wikis don't have multilanguage support at all).
Which reminds me of the "Sifter" project. I put some software together for that project, stealing rendering source from the wikipedia software. But, with TeX support and other things to follow, this will become impossible to maintain.
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.
