Since I'm done hacking for today, thought I'd demo what I've been working on. I'll leave this up for a while:
A lot of things are disabled for now, and the speed to first load can probably be improved by at least 80%, but it is presenting a dynamic interface without any server-side page generation. The parser is a more complete than the presenter, so I've dumped the parse trees to the bottom of the pages.
Anyway, I should have edits and real-time previews working soon. For now this is mostly just an experiment to see what is possible. It's Mozilla only too, but there's no reason it couldn't be made to work in any browser that supports XMLHTTP. Especially interesting is viewing these pages generates virtually no server-side CPU load.
(the normal interface is at http://81.5.150.113/wiki)
Comments welcome :)
1) That rocks!
2) Perhaps you should add it to the list I just created at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Alternative_parsers I know yours is a lot more than just an alternative parser (so, in fact, is the Eclipse plugin; maybe I named the page too specifically), but once releasable it'll sure be interesting to people working on their own hacks!
3) I've answered your questions about images (well, the first one anyway) on the wiki page. :)
4) Happy hacking. ;)
