I accidentially deleted the mail about wikiTeX and chemical formulas, but I saw the page at http://wikisophia.org/wiki/Wikitex#Chem
and all I have to say is <aol>me too!!!</aol>
This would be *so* great not only for chem articles, but also for wikibooks. Can this be made available by default? Please?

Can this be made available by default? Please?
I'll do my part by uploading it into the /extensions folder, but I have yet to ascertain who makes the decision to install; Jens, Erik, Tim, Brion, Gabriel, ... ?

Uploading it would be good. If you want it to go live immediately you'll have to backport it to REL1_3A -- please test the backported version if you do so. If there are no changes to be made from 1.3 to 1.4 then it's just a matter of committing to both branches. The decision to install is made by anyone with shell access who is brave enough to take responsibility for any errors in it. They will ask for objections from the other developers, and if there are none, they install and debug it.

extensions is a separate module in CVS, and AFAIK has no branches at the moment. In general I'd prefer that things which are a) relatively self-contained and b) rely on external software should be distributed separately rather than sitting in the core distribution mostly unused. (The same goes for texvc; I'd like to decouple it. The main thing currently lacking iirc is a plugin hook for adding pref sheets to Special:Preferences.)
The few things sitting in the 'extensions' directory in the main distribution now are a mistake and should be moved to the separate module.

I'd really, really, really like to know that someone's done a security review on it before installing it. We've been patching a lot of holes lately, and I'd rather this gets done before things go live or get released.
