Have fun and please report bugs directly to me (less spammy to the list and
less embarrasing to me :-) )
Problem with JavaScript solutions is that they need *another* http
query. If that was done on the server side there would be no overhead.
Some points about the code:
It uses 5 functions:
createXMLHTTP, updateStatus, addEvent, install and run
Being it new worl, i'd discourage coding new fucntions for addEvent and
createXMLHTTP, as the general Mediawiki javascript includes already
includes equivalent functions (theoretically with full browser compat.).
It's interesting your style of making eveything into a big variable.
