Hey,
Finding a way to separate MW the library from MW the application may be a
solution to this conflict. I don't think this would be a trivial
project, but it doesn't seem impossible either.

Hey all,
Several MediaWiki extensions, such as Maps and Semantic MediaWiki, are now

from developers on how to have their extensions support this awesome
dependency manager, and decided to write down the most important points
