By "we" I meant "MediaWiki developers".
And by "aren't really interested in," I should clarify that I'd like for
us to remove from the page ideas that people do not want incorporated
into MediaWiki in any way -- core, extensions,
scripts/utilities/gadgets, etc. If you look at an idea and think, "even
if this were well-implemented I wouldn't want us to merge it in," please
remove it.
I also want us to remove ideas that students could not possibly
reasonably do in a summer, or that another developer is already
half-done implementing (and doesn't want a student developer's help with
it).
If anyanything they should be striked though
(<del>whatever</del>) so
people can still see that they were there and left a note as to why
they were "bad"
OK! I figured people would leave their reasons for deletion in the
Summary line as they revised the page, but strikethrough works too.
