Which reminds me of the "Sifter" project. I put some software together
for that project, stealing rendering source from the wikipedia software.
But, with TeX support and other things to follow, this will become
impossible to maintain.
So, when we talk of making the wikipedia software more general (and
faster, of course;-), is anyone opposed to throw in some *possible*
restrictions for, say, editing, uploading etc.? They'll be off by
default, so wikipedia won't change a bit, but we could use the same code
with a few changed variables for the Sifter.
