[Mediawiki-l] Extension manager

[Kasimir Gabert]

Hm...

I am thinking something along the lines of Debian's system.
We would have main, which would be approved by WikiMedia, and then
contrib, which would be approved by the community (say at least two
people have to say "It looks good"), and then non-free where anything
goes.

The names could all be changed of course... "Core", "Trusted",
"Universe" or something.
