[snip my notes about removing the non-PNG non-source options, wanting higher-resolution renderings]
Did you have a chance to evaluate MathJax? http://www.mathjax.org/ I know it's come up in past math discussions and that a lot of math folks think it looks promising. A technical analysis of its feasibility on Wikimedia wikis would be great. Killing the less-used, ancient math options is great, but perhaps adding one wouldn't be too bad to do too. :-)
That's an excellent thing to bring up -- MathJAX *does* look very promising, and things seem to render pretty nicely. Need to make sure that we can either do that type of rendering cleanly with the PNG fallback (older browsers will still need the PNGs, so it may still be worth spending the time to fix baselines).
I've done a quick experimental mode commit: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/104521
definitely promising in terms of things look nice. :)
Sweet, thanks! I forwarded it to some math folks.
I also saw your comments at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31406#c6
Nice work. :-)
