I need this extension:

installed on the Cherokee Wikipedia. Is there a page somewhere on meta for this purpose to request Brion to install the extension for editing in Sequoyah Syllabary? I did not see a page for requesting extensions installed. I know when I install extensions, I have to do it from the unix login and its not normally possible to install them from the web interface.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
As Rob said, file them in our Bugzilla, but be prepared to explain why you need a separate C utility for efficient conversion. Wouldn't script variants be ideal for this, if there's an algorithmic way to convert from Latin to Sequoyah and back? We already do that for Chinese and Serbian, and it allows people to view things in Latin if they prefer.
In would agree that a php based version would be preferable. Let's hold off on integrating it until I can get one written, or someone on MediaWiki development can volunteer to convert the C program to php. Either way, you guys let me know.
