There's no language-dependence in our priorities here, except for Robert's
initial decision, back in October, to pilot the new software on the
largest wikis. The smaller wikis haven't been neglected since then,
rather, the search engine has been neglected.

The English Wikipedia has often been left out of toolserver replication,
and it could have easily been the case this time around.

The Betawiki developers, as I believe you yourself have pointed out, are
part of the community.
