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.

Are there any talks of implementing an extension

installing, and uninstalling extensions?
The software would be quite straightforward, the issue here is
maintaining a repository; there is a lot of sloppy extension code out
there, some of it outright insecure, and we don't really want the
hassle of keeping track of it all and checking it's all sane.
