Who is "we" the wikimedia foundation? the medawiki developers? someone else?
By "we" I meant "MediaWiki developers".
And by "aren't really interested in," I should clarify that I'd like for us to remove from the page ideas that people do not want incorporated into MediaWiki in any way -- core, extensions, scripts/utilities/gadgets, etc. If you look at an idea and think, "even if this were well-implemented I wouldn't want us to merge it in," please remove it.
I also want us to remove ideas that students could not possibly reasonably do in a summer, or that another developer is already half-done implementing (and doesn't want a student developer's help with it).
If anyanything they should be striked though (<del>whatever</del>) so people can still see that they were there and left a note as to why they were "bad"
OK! I figured people would leave their reasons for deletion in the Summary line as they revised the page, but strikethrough works too.
