[Mediawiki-l] Homepage Integration

[Michael]

Actually I was thinking about both of those things yesterday. Doesn't it 
seem that it'd be useful to have a standard API in PHP for doing both of 
these tasks? Something like session handling where there is a standard 
set of built-in functions that can provide the interface but where the 
built-in functions can be replaced by those of your choice. So your 
program would only need to know the standard API and then you could 
implement it anyway you wanted. For user logons especially that'd be 
pretty easy to do I think.

It's easy to replace the templates (overall_header and overall_footer) and just add the right code to page_header/footer.php. Is this possible in a similar way with WikiMedia or do I have to "hack" the source myself.
