Earlier I announced the availability of a new codebase and a testing server to the wikitech list, but I see no reason not to involve the larger list as well.

See http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net for information on the wiki software.

I have both codebases set upon my server (the old one is at http://www.piclab.com/wiki/wiki.phtml , and the new one is at http://www.piclab.com/newwiki/wiki.phtml ), and both have the newest 5/20 dump of the database (though the new one doesn't have all the article histories).

Anyone who wants to work on the code can use my server for testing. In particular, I'd like to solicit translators to create new languages for the new codebase, which has a much better facility for handling them (and doesn't require any coding skill).

Finally, someone a while back posted a wikipedia design that didn't use HTML tables for layout and that looked very clean. I could probably find that in the archives, but if someone could point me to that I'd appreciate it. The new skin system should make it easier to implement that cleanly.
